Equipment

  • air fryer
  • mixing bowl
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • kitchen towel

Ingredients

  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup carrots (sliced)
  • 1 zucchini (sliced)
  • 1 cup cauliflower florets
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Wash, peel if needed, and cut all vegetables into even-sized pieces.
  • Pat the vegetables completely dry using a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
  • Place vegetables in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat lightly.
  • Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then toss again to distribute seasoning evenly.
  • Arrange vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
  • Cook at 380°F (193°C) for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
  • Check for desired crispiness and cook an additional 2–3 minutes if needed before serving.

Notes

For best results, dry vegetables thoroughly before cooking and avoid overcrowding the basket. You can use fresh or frozen vegetables, but increase cooking time for frozen. Adjust seasoning to taste and experiment with spices like paprika or Italian herbs for variety.
