Ingredients

  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup cauliflower florets
  • ½ cup carrots rounds
  • 1 red pepper strips
  • ½ cup zucchini half moons
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil or use veggie broth for no oil
  • 1.5 tbsp. apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 2 tsp. Minced garlic
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp. Chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp. Pepper
  • 1 tsp. Himalayan pink salt

Instructions

  • Wash all the vegetables. Dry them and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Cut cauliflower and broccoli into florets. Carrots and zucchini can be done in rounds or half moons. Peppers can be cut in strips.
  • Take olive oil or veggie broth in a bowl and apple cider vinegar in another bowl. Take minced garlic, pepper, Italian seasoning, salt and chilli flakes in another bowl.
  • Mix together all the seasonings with the oil and vinegar.
  • Pour it over the vegetables in mix well. Do not keep for long after mixing with the veggies or they will release water.
  • Preheat air fryer at 180C or 360F for 4 minutes.
  • Lay the vegetables in the air fryer basket. I could put in all the veggies at one go.
  • Air fry at 180C or 360F for about 7-9 minutes till the veggies look cooked and are crispy on the sides.
  • Take them out and serve hot. They are delicious.

Notes

1. Cut vegetables in similar sizes so that they cook evenly.
2. Use any vegetables in your pantry especially those with similar cooking times. I have used cauliflower, carrots, zucchini, broccoli and peppers here. You can also use mushrooms, onion, squash etc.
3. You can make large batches of air fried veggies. Reheat them and consume after storing in the fridge. They stay good.
4. You can skip the oil in the recipe and just use water or vegetable broth in its place. Your veggies will not look as golden or plump but will taste good.
5. Air fry to your taste. I like the veggies to be well cooked but with a crunch and crispy on the edges.
6. You can vary the seasonings as per your like. Use more of pepper and cayenne if you like them hotter.
7. You can use only cauliflower and carrots in this recipe in which case, double their quantities while skipping the other veggies.
