Steps
Let’s start by preparing the vegetables. Peel an eggplant, cut it into strips, then into small cubes. Wash a bell pepper, remove the cap, seeds, and internal filaments, then cut it into pieces. Finally, dice a zucchini after removing the ends.
Combine all the vegetables in a large bowl, add extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt and a mix of roast herbs. Mix well with a spoon or your hands to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Transfer the vegetables to the basket of the air fryer, arranging them in an even layer. Start cooking at 356°F for about 30 minutes. After the first 20 minutes, add the quartered cherry tomatoes directly into the basket, shake slightly to combine everything, and complete the cooking.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the oat pasta according to the instructions on the package. Once ready, drain it and transfer it to a large bowl.
Add the crispy vegetables just out of the fryer to the pasta, mixing gently to avoid breaking the cubes. If the pasta seems dry, we can add a splash of the reserved cooking water.

Serve it by decorating the dish with a few fresh mint or basil leaves.
