Ingredients
Vegetables
- Fresh assorted vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, broccoli) – 4 cups, chopped
Seasonings and Oil
- Olive oil (natural) – 2 tablespoons
- Salt – 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper – 1/2 teaspoon
- Garlic powder (natural) – 1/2 teaspoon
- Paprika (natural) – 1/2 teaspoon
- Lemon juice (natural) – 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Prepare Your Vegetables: Wash and cut your vegetables into uniform pieces so they cook evenly. Slice larger vegetables like carrots or zucchini thinner to achieve a crispy texture.
- Season the Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the cut vegetables with olive oil (natural), salt, pepper, garlic powder (natural), and paprika (natural) until lightly coated, ensuring flavor in every bite.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for 3-5 minutes to help achieve a perfect golden finish.
- Air Fry in Batches: Place the vegetables in a single layer inside the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
- Serve with a Splash of Lemon: Remove the crispy vegetables and immediately drizzle fresh lemon juice (natural) over the top for a bright, fresh finish.
Notes
- Dry your vegetables well before seasoning to prevent sogginess and promote crispiness.
- Cut vegetables into uniform pieces for even cooking and crisp texture.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation.
- Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure all sides become crispy and golden.
- Adjust cooking time depending on vegetable density; softer veggies need less time, denser ones may require more.
