How to Make Air Fryer Vegetables

Before I even get into this healthy air fryer recipe I want to mention that I recently got a Ninja Foodi. It is amazing! The Ninja Foodi is like the holy grail of all kitchen gadgets. It is an Instant Pot/pressure cooker, an air fryer, and a dehydrator all in one. Just about the only thing it doesn’t do is wash the dishes when the meal is finished. I realize that not everyone has a Foodi, and more people have an Instant Pot, or an air fryer so keep in mind that this air fryer roasted vegetable recipe can be made in either a traditional air fryer or a Ninja Foodi. If you are considering getting one you can get it online HERE. If you are on the fence you can see my video review of the Foodi in this pulled pork recipe post here: Ninja Foodi Pulled Pork Recipe.

Cooking with an air fryer or Ninja Foodi is an easy way to make your favorite foods quickly and staying healthy. I am all about eating healthy and clean eating.

You can also see how I, personally have lost 50 lbs and am keeping it off by following a clean eating diet here: How I Lost 50 Lbs Clean Eating. Moving on, let’s make some delicious roasted vegetables in the air fryer!

Instructions:

Pre-heat your air fryer at 400 for 3 minutes. While your air fryer is coming to temperature gather your vegetables and other ingredients.
In a large bowl combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Whisk together.
Add the vegetables to the bowl and toss to coat.
Next, add the vegetables to the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 minutes.
After 8 minutes, give the vegetables a little shake and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes.
If you like cheese, you can add freshly grated parmesan and bake for another 1-2 minutes. This step is optional, omit for a vegan option. We like to buy our parmesan in the block (not pre-shredded) and use a cheese grater to grate and shred the cheese ourselves.

Serve and enjoy. This air fryer vegetable recipe can be eaten as your meal or served as a side to just about anything.

If you happen to have any leftover you can easily reheat in the morning and use your air fryer vegetables as a base underneath two cooked eggs. I often reheat my veggies and eat them in the morning with eggs for breakfast. 😉
