An Air fryer is an amazing kitchen appliance that can air fry, roast, bake, broil, dehydrate and reheat foods. It works by circulating hot air around the food, allowing the use of little oil and still getting crispy food. You can cook from fresh or frozen vegetables.
I used my Instant Vortex Plus 6 Quart Air Fryer for this recipe. I love this because you can get the food in a single layer all at once, and dinner is ready in 30 minutes or less. Any air fryer brand like Cosori 5.8QT, Cuisinart Air Fryer Oven, Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Duo Crisp works here.

Ingredients to make air fryer vegetables
- Vegetables: I used quick-cooking mixed vegetables like red onion, red bell pepper, broccoli, zucchini, and cauliflower to match the roasting time in this recipe. You may pair root vegetables like sweet potato, carrots, beets, pumpkin, or butternut squash together.
- Olive oil: Using good quality Extra-virgin Olive oil adds the best flavor and crisps up the vegetables while air frying.
- Seasonings: Garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper adds a nice flavor to these air fryer veggies.
How to Air Fry Vegetables
Cut the vegetables roughly the same size for even cooking.
Transfer all the vegetables to a medium bowl. Add olive oil and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss them well, so they are all coated with the seasoning.
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Add the seasoned vegetables to the air fryer basket and spread them in a single layer (cook in batches if required). Spray some oil on top if required.
Air fryer them at 380°F (193°C) for 8-10 minutes or until slightly brown and crisp. Shake the basket halfway through. Mine was cooked perfectly in 10 minutes.
Air Fryer Roasted Vegetables are ready. Remove to a serving plate, squeeze some lime juice and serve it immediately with a tasty dipping sauce on the side.
Tips for Air Frying Roasted Vegetables
- Cut veggies of the same size: Cut the veggies about the same size, which helps quick and even cooking.
- Work in batches: Make sure to spread the vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each other to avoid uneven cooking. Don’t overcrowd. Cook in batches if needed.
- Shake the basket halfway: It's important to shake the basket halfway through to allow the veggies to be cooked evenly.
- Frozen Veggies: if using frozen veggies, add extra few minutes to the cooking time, which includes the time required to thaw the vegetables during the cooking process. Also, make sure not to overcrowd the frozen veggies in the basket, allowing the water to evaporate, making the veggies crispy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Air fryers require less oil to cook foods than deep-fried ones. It cuts calories by 70% to 80% and has less fat.
Air-fried vegetables lose fewer nutrients compared to any other method of cooking.
Yes, you can air fry most of the vegetables without oil. However, you may want to add a little oil along with seasonings to crisp up the vegetables even better. Also, make sure to shake the basket a few extra times to prevent sticking if cooking without oil.
Air fryers work by circulating hot air around the food, hence it's not designed for steaming vegetables. However, you can add very little water to the outer basket, and the food to be cooked in the inner basket. This step helps veggies to retain moisture. However, I highly recommend using Instant Pot for steaming the veggies.
Serve air-fried vegetables by themselves as an appetizer for a potluck or party. For Dinner, serve it as a side dish with the main course.
