How to Roast Vegetables in the Ninja Air Fryer

First, prepare the veggies. To achieve optimal results, cut your fresh vegetables into uniformly sized smaller pieces. This ensures even cooking and prevents some pieces from overcooking while others remain underdone. Then in a large bowl, combine the brussels sprouts, sweet potato, and red onion.

Next, add the olive oil, or avocado oil to the bowl.

Then add the garlic powder, Italian seasoing, salt and pepper. Feel free to customize the recipe with different seasonings if you’d like. Toss to coat.

What Temperature to Roast Vegetables in an Air Fryer

First, prehead the air fryer to 375 degrees F for 3-5 minutes. Select the air crisp function, set the temp to 375, and press start.

How Long to Roast Vegetables in an Air Fryer

Once the air fryer is nice and hot, transfer the prepared veggies to the air fryer basket. Do your best to arrange them in a single layer if possible.  If you’re working with a large quantity of vegetables, consider cooking them in batches.

Set the cooking time for 20 minutes, and press start. At the halfway mark use a wooden spoon or silicone tongs to toss the veggies in the crisper basket to ensure even cooking. Personally, I like to toss the veggies every 5-6 minutes during the cooking process.

When done the mix of veggies will be tender crisp, meaning the tender vegetables will have a slightly crisp exterior and firm interior. For extra crispy vegetables you may wat to add 5 more minutes of cook time. 

Caregfully remoe the medley of vegetables from the air fryer basket. Orange heat safe gloves are great for handling the hot basket.

Once cooked to perfection, these air-fried vegetables make the perfect side dish. Serve them right away as a complement to your main meal. For added flavor, consider topping them with fresh herbs, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

To savor these delightful vegetables for later, transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. This helps maintain their crispiness and flavor, ensuring you can enjoy them again and again.

Reheating these air-fried vegetables is a breeze. For optimal results, preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Spread the cooled vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until heated through. A quick spritz of cooking spray before reheating can help restore some of the original crispiness.
