Prepare: Begin by cleaning vegetables. Either slice zucchini and squash in 1/4 inch thick rounds or in small quarters. Cut mushrooms in half and dice pepper and onion into bite-sized pieces
Season: Pour vegetables into large bowl. Pour olive oil over vegetables and then seasonings. Toss to coat completely.
Air fry: Pour vegetables into air fryer basket. Spread them out in one layer. I ended up having to cook 2 batches. Cook at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
Serve: Serve warm.

How to store

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven or air fryer.

Recipe tips

Make sure to spread vegetables out in one layer. This enables them to cook evenly.
Feel free to change up the spices. Seasoned salt or Greek seasonings work well with these vegetables.
Try sprinkling on a little Parmesan cheese once they have finished cooking for a delicious variation.
Note that depending on size you cut the vegetables and the machine you are using, the cooking time could vary. I like to start with 10 minutes and add more depending on how roasted you prefer the vegetables.

Can you use frozen vegetables?

Yes, you can air fry frozen vegetables. Since they are frozen, they will need to cook a little longer. Start with 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes. Make sure not to pile them on top of each other so the water can evaporate and they are able to cook.

Are air fried vegetables healthy?

Yes, they are healthy and full of vitamins and nutrients. Cooking with the air fryer requires very little oil or fat. The hot air circulates the food to cook it to perfection.
