Ingredients
Scale
Main Vegetables:
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1–2 yellow squash
- 1 zucchini
- 1 cup broccoli
- ¼ medium red onion
Seasonings:
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Oils:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare all the vegetables by meticulously chopping red bell pepper, yellow squash, zucchini, red onion, and broccoli into uniform, bite-sized chunks to ensure consistent cooking.
- Transfer the sliced vegetables into a spacious mixing bowl, then generously drizzle with high-quality olive oil, creating an even coating that will help seasonings adhere and promote caramelization.
- Sprinkle salt, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper over the vegetables, using your hands or a large spoon to toss and thoroughly distribute the seasonings, guaranteeing each piece is well-seasoned.
- Carefully arrange the seasoned vegetable medley in a single layer within the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding to allow proper hot air circulation and promote optimal roasting.
- Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and roast the vegetables for 10-12 minutes, using tongs to vigorously shake the basket midway through cooking to ensure even browning and prevent sticking.
- Once the vegetables develop a golden-brown exterior and reach a tender consistency, remove from the air fryer and serve immediately as a vibrant, nutritious side dish.
Notes
- Chop vegetables uniformly to ensure consistent cooking and appealing presentation.
- Toss vegetables generously with olive oil and seasonings for maximum flavor absorption.
- Use high temperature in air fryer to achieve perfectly caramelized and crispy vegetable edges.
- Shake basket midway through cooking to promote even browning and prevent burning.
