0 0 Published Dec 18, 2023, Updated Nov 05, 2024 I went with a mix of bell peppers, onion, mushroom, cauliflower and zucchini, but the great thing is that you can customize this recipe based on your preference and what veggies you have on hand. The end result is a medley of vegetables that are deliciously crisp and perfectly caramelized. Serve it with your favorite protein and you’ve got a healthy and delicious dinner in no time! If the air fryer isn’t working or you don’t have one, then check out this simple recipe for sautéed vegetables!
Mexican: For Mexican style veggies toss them in taco seasoning before cooking and serve them up as vegetable tacos! Different veggies: As I mentioned above, you can totally swap out the veggies with different ones. Eggplant, brussels sprouts, carrots, butternut squash, parsnip, sweet potato and asparagus would all work great in this recipe. Whatever veggies you use just make sure to cut them in similar sized pieces. Seasoning: Beyond salt and pepper, feel free to explore with different seasonings like smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, or Italian seasoning. Cheese: For a cheesy flavor, sprinkle nutritional yeast or grated parmesan cheese over the veggies just before they’re done cooking. Balsamic glaze: After cooking, drizzle the vegetables with a balsamic glaze for a hint of acidity and sweetness. Asian: For an Asian-inspired twist, toss the veggies in a bit of soy sauce and sesame oil, and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
Alongside a protein – serve these veggies as a side dish alongside your favorite protein for a full balanced meal! It would be delicious served with this air fryer chicken breast, maple turmeric chicken, air fryer salmon or crispy baked tofu. Salads – add a warm, hearty element to your green salads by tossing in air fryer vegetables. They pair exceptionally well with kale, spinach, or arugula, drizzled with a balsamic dressing. Try using them in this roasted vegetable salad. In a bowl – make a nutritious grain bowl with quinoa or wild rice as the base, topped with air fryer vegetables, dried cranberries, chopped nuts, and feta cheese for a satisfying meal. Or just make this buddha bowl, chicken protein bowl or roasted harvest bowl. Alongside pasta – I love serving pasta with a side of roasted veggies. Try this one pot pasta, baked feta pasta or penne alla vodka. As a stir fry – toss these air fryer vegetables in a teriyaki sauce and serve them over rice or cauliflower rice for a plant-base meal! As tacos – swap the cauliflower in these cauliflower tacos with these air fryer vegetables!
To reheat: Just place them in the air fryer in a single layer and cook at 375°F for 1-2 minutes. You can also reheat them in a toaster oven, regular oven or microwave. Just note that the veggies will get soft if you reheat them in the microwave.
