Ingredients

For this recipe, I always reach for a mix of vegetables that offer a variety of textures and flavors. Bell peppers add sweetness and color, broccoli brings a hearty bite, and carrots give a lovely natural sweetness and slight crunch. A bit of olive oil is essential to help the veggies crisp up and carry the seasoning evenly. Salt and pepper are the base of the seasoning, but I love to throw in garlic powder and Italian herbs for extra flavor.

How to Make Roasted Air Fryer Vegetables

Step 1: Prep the Vegetables

Wash and cut your vegetables into uniform bite-sized pieces. This helps them cook evenly and get those golden brown edges we all love.

Step 2: Season the Mix

In a large bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian herbs until everything is well coated.

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Spread the vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if needed. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Once they’re beautifully roasted and slightly crispy, transfer the vegetables to a serving platter. Sprinkle with a pinch of fresh herbs if you’d like, and serve warm.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

You can truly make this recipe your own by switching up the vegetables based on what’s in season or what you have on hand. Try adding zucchini, asparagus, or even sweet potatoes for a change of pace. If you prefer a bit of heat, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes. For a vegan twist with extra protein, toss in some chickpeas to roast alongside the veggies. Don’t have Italian herbs? Use fresh rosemary, thyme, or a simple sprinkle of smoked paprika.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

These Roasted Air Fryer Vegetables are the perfect side for just about anything. I love serving them alongside grilled chicken or fish, or even with a big bowl of pasta. They’re also fantastic on top of salads, inside wraps, or paired with a creamy dip as an appetizer.

Storage and Reheating Tips

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, just pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to revive that crispy texture. You can also reheat them in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven.
