Making veggies in the air fryer is a great way to diversify the healthy vegetables you’re eating on a regular basis. When you’re burnt out on cooking, let air fried food work in your favor!
What Veggies Can You Air Fry?
You can air fry anything. Anything you can bake in the oven can be air fried. Here’s what I use in the recipe.
- Zucchini
- Squash
- Red Onions
- Carrots
- Broccoli
- Cauliflower
Favorite Marinades
I always like to drizzle my vegetables in a liquid agent first. This helps the dry rub spices and seasonings adhere, and it enhances the flavor.
- Olive Oil
- Avocado Oil
- Balsamic Vinegar
- Honey
- Butter
- Primal Kitchen Cilantro Lime Marinade
- Liquid Smoke (for grilled veggies taste)
Favorite Spices and Seasoning
- Homemade Ranch Seasoning
- Homemade BBQ Seasoning
- Homemade Taco Seasoning
- Garlic Powder
- Smoked Paprika
- Herbs de Provence Seasoning
How to Make Air Fryer Vegetables
- Drizzle the veggies in olive oil and sprinkle with garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the veggies in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry.
Air Fryer Temperature
I use 350 degrees.
Cook Time/How Long to Cook
The veggies will take 12-15 minutes.
Can You Steam Veggies
Vegetables with a water base like zucchini and squash will taste like steamed veggies with a roasted kick due to their large content.
Can You Use Frozen?
Frozen veggies typically only require a few additional minutes and are cooked at the same temperature.
How to Store the Cooked Veggies/How Long Will They Last in the Fridge
Store the vegetables in the fridge tightly sealed for up to 3-4 days.

I’m always looking for a way to step up my veggie game. I admit we eat a lot of steamed veggies in my house because it’s convenient. I don’t know why I haven’t made these yet! They were so good. It was quick and easy. I used the veggies I had on hand so I ended up using petite carrots, they cooked up perfectly. The veggies got a little crispy which I loved and the paprika gave it the perfect flavor. No more boring veggies for me. Oh and I made this on a break in between meetings. It was that fast!
