Air fryer Frozen Vegetables

These frozen vegetables are super quick and easy to do in air fryer. They turn out crispy and well seasoned. Perfect side with hardly any work.

I always keep a couple of bags of frozen vegetables in my freezer. I find them very handy to use.

Toss them in my vegetable Upma or use them in my millet khichdi. Sometimes, just make roasted vegetable side with them.

Whenever I want to up the nutritional quotient of a dish, I just use these pre-cut, washed and frozen veggies. So convenient and such a time saver.

Then I started air frying them. So so good! I air fry my protein and then air fry frozen vegetables. A meal is done with hardly any effort.

FAQs

Please pre heat your air fryer before doing this step because we don’t want the vegetables to start thawing.

Now lightly spray frozen vegetables with extra virgin olive oil. Toss the vegetables with garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Air fry at 360F or 180C for 15-18 minutes till the vegetables are cooked and slightly crispy outside. 

Take them out and serve hot.

Then reheat in the air fryer at 360F or 180C for about 3-4 minutes till heated through.

These cannot be frozen.

Tips

Do not thaw the frozen vegetables before air frying. This will cause them turning mushy.

You can use any seasonings you like even spice mixes like Old Bay, Cajun seasoning and so on.

You can use avocado oil or any other oil with high smoking point in place of extra virgin olive oil.
