    Air Fryer Vegetables Recipe

    Air fryer vegetables come out similar to oven-roasted vegetables, but the advantage of air frying is that it cooks faster than roasting in the oven, and also the vegetables are crisper. I also feel the air fryer basket is also easier to use and clean than the oven tray.

    You can cook all types of vegetables in the air fryer but for this recipe, I have used 6 types of veggies. You can however use more so far the vegetables have similar cooking time. 

    It requires minimal preparation.

    I used a 5.5litres Xl air fryer to make this and some of the brands I recommend are

    Cosori

    Power Xl

      Trying out my Ninja dual Air Fryer.
      Salmon one side, new potatoes and broccoli in the other.
      After the potatoes have been cooking for 7mins add the broccoli.
