Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, Brussels sprouts), cut into uniform pieces

Seasonings & Oil

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Vegetables: Wash and dry your chosen vegetables thoroughly. Cut them into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and optimal crispiness.
  2. Season the Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the vegetables with extra virgin olive oil (natural), garlic powder (natural), smoked paprika (natural), sea salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Make sure every piece is well-coated.
  3. Preheat Your Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 390°F and allow it to preheat for about 3 to 5 minutes. This ensures the vegetables start cooking immediately and develop a crispy exterior.
  4. Arrange Vegetables in the Basket: Place the seasoned vegetables evenly in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding to promote even air circulation and crunchiness.
  5. Cook and Shake: Cook the vegetables for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to turn the pieces and ensure even cooking on all sides.
  6. Final Touches: Once crispy and golden, transfer the vegetables to a serving dish. Adjust seasoning if needed, and enjoy your perfectly cooked Air Fryer Vegetables.

Notes

  • Cut vegetables into similar sizes for consistent cooking times.
  • Leave space between pieces to achieve maximum crispness.
  • Pat dry to remove moisture before seasoning to help vegetables crisp faster.
  • Shake the basket frequently to ensure even browning.
  • Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil (natural) to enhance flavor and texture.
  • Experiment with seasonings to personalize your dish.
