Ingredients
  

Vegetable Ingredients
  • 4 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, broccoli) Feel free to mix up the varieties.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For achieving golden color and crispiness.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Adjust based on taste.
  • 1 teaspoon pepper Freshly ground recommended.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Adds savory flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon paprika For color and flavor.
  • optional Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs for garnish For serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Chop the mixed vegetables into even-sized pieces for uniform cooking.
  3. In a bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the seasoned vegetables in the air fryer basket in a single layer to maximize crispiness.
  2. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking, until the vegetables are golden and crispy.
  3. Once cooked, remove from the air fryer and garnish with Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Consider adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze after cooking for a sweet tang.
