If you need a quick and healthy side dish, frozen veggies in the air fryer are perfect! Just add in your favorite seasonings and they will be perfect in less than 15 minutes.
I love making vegetables in the air fryer. Some of my favorite vegetable recipes are Air Fryer Squash, Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes, Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts, and Air Fryer Zucchini. But when I am craving mixed veggies, I totally grab a bag from the freezer and make quick work out of them.
I love making vegetables in the air fryer. Air fryers cook by circulating hot air around the food, and this gives it a crisp fried texture that's healthier than deep frying.
If you don't have any fresh vegetables on hand, you can purchase a vegetable medley of mixed vegetables in the freezer section of your favorite grocery store. Choose your favorite frozen bag of delicious veggies for an easy and delicious side dish.
I love using fresh vegetables when available, but they aren't in season all year round, so frozen mixed vegetables work easily for me. You can also grab smaller bags of frozen vegetables and create your own mixture.
Air Frying Vegetables is my new favorite cooking method when I need something quick and easy.

How to Make Frozen Veggies in the Air Fryer
Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. If needed, prepare the basket with a non stick cooking spray such as olive oil.
Add the frozen vegetables to a small bowl and then add the olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Add the seasoned frozen vegetables to the air fryer basket. It's ok to overlap the vegetables slightly, but try and keep as much room around them as possible to help with the cooking process. If you're using a small number of vegetables, keep them in a single layer.
Cook the veggies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes. Remove the basket and flip the vegetables. Then continue air frying for an additional 4-6 minutes of cooking time. Check the last two minutes to make sure they are done to your likeness and add additional time in one-minute increments if needed.
Carefully remove the vegetables from the basket of the air fryer and serve immediately.
NOTE: This recipe was made using a Cosori air fryer. If you're using a different air fryer model, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly. If you have a small basket, you may need to cook your vegetables in batches. For best results, try to keep the vegetables in a single layer.
FAQs
Can I cook fresh vegetables in the air fryer?
Absolutely! You will want to adjust the cooking time down a few minutes for fresh produce, and check on the vegetables after 5 minutes.
What can I serve with Air Fryer Frozen Vegetables?
Healthy vegetables are a great side dish for main course dishes such as air fryer steak, air fryer chicken, air fryer pork tenderloin, or even to serve with pasta.
Can I use parchment paper in the air fryer?
Yes! Just make sure that you preheat the air fryer WITHOUT the parchment paper inside of the air fryer. You will add the parchment paper to the air fryer AFTER you have preheated and are ready to add the vegetables.
Frozen veggies are a great way to make a quick and easy side dish. You can also change things up with extra flavor by adding any of your favorite seasoning blends or dipping sauces.
