Cook Your Veggies in the AIr Fryer
I love throwing vegetables in my air fryer! I’ve done Air Fryer Broccoli, Air Fryer Asparagus, Air Fryer Green Beans and so many more! And sometimes at the end of the week, I just have a hodgepodge of random vegetables so that’s when I put them all in the air fryer together to cook at once. You can use any vegetables you like, but the combo here is one of my favorites – red bell peppers, yellow squash, Brussels sprouts, and onions.
If you’re looking for simple roasted vegetable dish with minimal effort, these air fry veggies should get on your list. They’re especially yummy with Air Fryer Shrimp and Air Fryer Meatballs – even for picky eaters!
Happy Cooking!

Air Fryer Vegetables Ingredients
- Vegetables: If you’re shopping for the recipe instead of just using what’s on hand, opt for vegetables with a variety of colors that cook at about the same time. I recommend red bell peppers, yellow squash, Brussels sprouts, and especially onions because they get caramelized in the air fryer. Other veggies you can add to the air fry are mushrooms, eggplant, broccoli, cauliflower and zucchini
- Oil: You just need a little bit of olive oil or avocado oil to toss with the vegetables to get them crispy in the air fryer.
- Seasonings: I use garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. You can substitute with 1 tablespoon of your favorite seasoning. Just make sure it includes salt.

Recipe Tips
- Leave space in the air fryer basket. Overcrowding the vegetables is a big no-no. They need to be in a single layer and not crowding one another to cook evenly.
- Keep an eye on your vegetables. Every air fryer is different, cook times may vary. To avoid overcooking, keep an eye on your vegetables and adjust cook time as necessary
- Stir halfway through cooking. This will help ensure that your veggies cook evenly.
- Cut your veggies as close to the same size as possible. This will help them cook evenly and keep one piece from being overcooked while another may be raw.
- Make this recipe in your oven. The air fryer makes for easy cooking and even easier clean up. However, you can easily roast the veggies in the oven.

FAQs
Air fryer roasted vegetables are easy to store! Just add them to a container and store in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can reheat these veggies back in the air fryer. The fastest method is in the microwave, but the vegetables aren’t going to crisp back up this way.
This air fryer vegetable medley is best eaten the day of or shortly after cooking. I’d avoid the freezer in this case.
No, it’s not necessary to add water to the air fryer when cooking vegetables. The vegetables will release their own moisture as they cook.
If your vegetables are coming out soggy, it’s likely because they’re overcrowding in the air fryer basket or you’re not stirring them halfway through cooking. Try adjusting those things and see if that helps!
If you find that some of your vegetables look burnt, it’s likely because they varied in size too much and didn’t cook evenly. Try cutting your vegetables as close to the same size as possible for even cooking next time.

Great taste, texture, and very appetizing!
Thanks, Rose!
Love it how they show a full bowl of vegetables and in the recipe it says place a single layer!!!
Once the vegetables are cooked, you can place them in a serving bowl without having to worry about the single layer. You only need to place them in a single layer inside the Air Fryer basket while cooking.
