Tips for air frying vegGies
- 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.
popular substitutions & additions
- Add Mushrooms. Portabella mushrooms would be a great vegetable to add to the mix.
- Add Eggplant. Eggplant is another great addition if you’re looking for something heartier.
- Swap Green or orange bell peppers. Red peppers are great but feel free to use green or orange peppers instead!
- Swap Zucchini. Swap out the yellow squash for zucchini, it’s delicious!
- Mix up the seasonings. If you’re looking for something a little different, try using some different seasonings like smoked paprika or cumin.

how to reheat & store air fried vegetables
Air fryer vegetables are easy to store! Simply add them to a container and store in the fridge. You can reheat these fried veggies in the air fryer or low and slow in the oven. The fastest method is in the microwave, but the vegetables aren’t going to crisp back up this way.
how long will leftover vegetables last in the fridge?
As long as you keep them in an airtight container, these veggies will last up to 4 days before going bad.
can i freeze air fryer roasted vegetables?
This air fryer vegetable medley is best eaten the day of or shortly after cooking. I’d avoid the freezer in this case.
Frequently asked questions
No, it’s unnecessary 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.
It’s not advised to put aluminum foil in the air fryer. It can block the airflow and cause your food not to cook evenly. It can also damage your air fryer when not used properly. Parchment paper is a better option.
When it comes to making a light and healthy recipe, air fryer vegetables don’t disappoint! Fast, simple, and full of flavor, this easy vegetable dish is one that everyone will be asking for again very soon!

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.
Brussels sprouts
