Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Vegetables

  • 2 cups bell peppers, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups zucchini, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups carrots, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups broccoli florets

Seasonings & Oil

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Vegetables: Wash and cut your selected vegetables into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and crispiness in the air fryer.
  2. Season the Vegetables: Place the chopped vegetables in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil (natural) and sprinkle garlic powder (natural), smoked paprika (natural), sea salt, and black pepper over them. Toss gently to coat all the vegetables evenly.
  3. Preheat and Arrange in Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the seasoned vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket, allowing ample space between pieces for optimal air circulation and crisping.
  4. Cook with Attention: Air fry the vegetables for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to prevent sticking and promote even browning. Adjust cooking duration based on your air fryer model and vegetable types.
  5. Final Touch and Serve: When the vegetables are tender and crispy, remove them from the air fryer. Add a light sprinkle of sea salt or fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately for the best texture.

Notes

  • Cut vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Use only enough oil to lightly coat the vegetables, about 1 to 2 tablespoons depending on quantity.
  • Preheat the air fryer for best texture results.
  • Shake or stir the vegetables halfway through cooking to prevent soggy spots.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
  • For freezing, freeze raw seasoned vegetables and air fry from frozen for best texture.
  • Frozen vegetables can be used by reducing cooking time and shaking more frequently.
