Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 small zucchini – chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 small yellow squash – chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large red or orange bell pepper – chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1.5 cups button mushrooms – chopped

Seasoning and Oil

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper – to taste
  • Olive oil spray for air fryer basket
  • Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer. Preheat your air fryer to 390° F (199° C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature before cooking the vegetables, which helps them become nicely crisp.
  2. Prepare Vegetables and Seasoning. In a large bowl, combine all chopped vegetables. Drizzle with avocado or olive oil. Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over the veggies. Toss everything thoroughly to evenly coat all pieces with oil and spices.
  3. Arrange in Air Fryer Basket. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking. Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer inside the basket, allowing only minimal overlapping to ensure even cooking.
  4. Cook the Vegetables. Cook the vegetables in the preheated air fryer for 9 to 11 minutes. At around 5 minutes, shake or toss the basket to redistribute the vegetables, which promotes even browning and crispness on all sides.
  5. Serve Warm with Garnish. Once the vegetables are tender and crisp, transfer them to a serving bowl. Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute or add other favorite vegetables such as carrots, broccoli florets, or asparagus for variety.
  • Adjust seasonings according to preference; adding a pinch of red pepper flakes can bring some heat.
  • If you prefer vegan, omit the Parmesan cheese garnish.
  • For a lower fat version, reduce oil slightly but keep enough to help crisp the veggies.
  • Ensure vegetables are cut into uniform sizes for even cooking.
