Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 cup colorful bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup zucchini, chopped
  • 1 cup carrots, chopped

Seasonings and Oils

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Vegetables: Wash and chop all vegetables into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly. Pat them dry gently with a towel to remove excess moisture for better crisping.
  2. Season the Veggies: In a large bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil (natural), garlic powder (natural), smoked paprika (natural), salt, and pepper. Make sure each piece is lightly coated for flavor and crisp texture.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F and allow it to preheat for about 3 minutes. This step ensures your vegetables start cooking immediately, which helps in developing a golden crust.
  4. Air Fry to Perfection: Arrange the vegetables in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for about 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to allow even cooking and prevent sticking.
  5. Serve Fresh: Once the vegetables are tender with crispy edges, transfer them to a serving dish and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Chop veggies to similar sizes to ensure uniform cooking and crispness.
  • Avoid overcrowding the basket to allow hot air circulation for even cooking.
  • Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking to help veggies brown evenly on all sides.
  • Use fresh and quality spices for the best flavor.
  • Use just enough olive oil (natural) to coat veggies without making them greasy.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze cooked vegetables in freezer-safe bags for up to one month; thaw overnight before reheating.
  • Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F for 3 to 5 minutes to restore crispness better than a microwave.
