How to Fry Vegetables in an Air Fryer

Air frying vegetables is relatively simple and perfect for busy weeknights. It’s my new favorite way to cook all of my favorite vegetables with little effort.

You can start with fresh vegetables or frozen vegetables, and you’ll always end up with a delicious side dish of perfectly cooked healthy vegetables.

Why do air fryers cook veggies so well? A heating element and a circulating fan help push hot air around the air fryer and essentially fry your recipes with hot air. It’s a healthier way to cook foods without all of the added calories and fats that come from deep fryers and tons of cooking oil.

I love making different vegetables with my favorite main courses, such as air fryer chicken, air fryer steak, or air fryer shrimp.
