Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups Broccoli florets Substitute with cauliflower for a different flavor.
  • 2 cups Carrots Use baby carrots for easier prep.
  • 1 medium Red bell pepper Green bell pepper can be an alternative.
  • 1 medium Zucchini Yellow squash can also be used.
  • 1 medium Red onion Yellow onion can be used for a milder taste.
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced Feel free to use garlic powder (1/4 teaspoon per clove).
Seasonings and Oils
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil Avocado oil can be substituted.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried thyme Fresh thyme can be used (3-4 sprigs).
  • 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary Fresh rosemary can also be used (1-2 sprigs).
  • Salt and pepper Adjust to taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated Omit for a vegan version.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) if your model requires preheating.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli, carrots, red bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and minced garlic.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle with thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  4. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and mix until everything is well-coated.
Cooking
  1. Place the vegetables in the air fryer basket in a single layer to allow optimal airflow.
  2. Cook the vegetables for about 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  3. You’ll know they’re done when they are fork-tender and starting to brown slightly at the edges.
Serving
  1. Once cooked, top with grated Parmesan cheese if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

For best results, cut vegetables into similar sizes, avoid overcrowding the basket, and consider making multiple batches if necessary. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the air fryer.
