Mixed Vegetables in Air Fryer

Mixed vegetables in an air fryer, a side dish made of braised vegetables in the air fryer. Great as a side dish, perfect for stuffing a puff pastry with vegetables in the air fryer and, like these vegetable rolls in the air fryer, it’s a light recipe cooked with very little oil. To make the vegetables in the air fryer I used: zucchini, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. The result was similar to a ratatouille in the air fryer. Depending on what you have available, you can also use eggplants, green peppers, and other seasonal vegetables.

It makes me smile a bit to think that I’ve owned the air fryer since 2016, that I published a book on the air fryer in 2022, that I’ve been publishing air fryer recipes for ages, and how copies have blossomed on the web and in bookstores. I want to make you smile; a few days ago, I received a book on the air fryer to promote on my social channels. Needless to say, I didn’t even open it to avoid getting angry, but I try to move forward and continue to offer you what I know. Come on, let’s make mixed vegetables in the air fryer and try these delicious recipes too:

Rosella Errante’s Air Fryer Tips

Be sure to choose an air fryer free of BPA and PFOA, with a power greater than 1700 watts, that reaches up to 450°F. This way it will last a long time and be much more efficient, significantly reducing cooking times. Particularly for vegetables, which will not have time to release their water, remaining firmer and meatier.

Ideas for Using Cooked Vegetables in Air Fryer

You can use the cooked vegetables to dress couscous or, even better, bulgur or black rice.
