The air fryer is a fantastic appliance for cooking vegetables. Not only does it make them quick and easy to prepare, but the final result is always delicious!

🌶️Why cook vegetables in the air fryer?

  • Air frying is a healthy alternative to deep-frying, as it uses less oil and results in a lower fat content. Additionally, air-fried vegetables retain more of their nutrients than those that are boiled or steamed.
  • The air fryer uses hot air to cook food, which results in a crispy exterior and a tender interior. This cooking method is perfect for vegetables, as they can sometimes become mushy when cooked using other methods.
  • Cooking vegetables in the air fryer is oftentimes much faster than other methods as the hot air circulates all around the food making a quick cook time.

👩🏻‍🍳Helpful Tips for Cooking Vegetables In The Air Fryer

  • Preheat the air fryer for best results: This will help to ensure that your vegetables cook evenly.
  • Cut vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the air fryer basket.
  • Coat lightly with oil: While optional, this helps certain vegetables to crisp up nicely in the air fryer. You can use a cooking spray or brush on some olive oil.
  • Add seasonings: Season your vegetables with salt, pepper, and any other spices or herbs you enjoy. This is a great way to add flavor without adding any additional calories.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the air fryer basket: If there is too much food in the basket, the air will not be able to circulate properly and they will not cook evenly. Cook in batches if needed.
  • Every air fryer is different: The best time and temperature for air frying vegetables depends on your individual air fryer and how big your vegetables are. Always check your food to see if it needs more or less cooking time.
