Vegetables in your Air-Fryer

Back to the Vegetables Index

Vegetables that are good steamed can be absolutely wonderful cooked in your air-fryer instead.

You want to cut them into like-sized pieces so they cook evenly, then toss them with a little melted butter or olive oil, salt, pepper, and perhaps a little lemon juice and minced garlic or an herb such as oregano or thyme.

When they're done roasting you might like to drizzle a little fresh lemon juice or balsamic vinegar over them, or sprinkle them with grated Parmesan.
