Air frying vegetables is an absolute breeze, and probably my favorite way of cooking veggies. I love roasting my vegetables in the oven, but air frying is an even quicker method that I use all the time (you know how much I love my Air Fryer!). These roasted vegetables are the best side dish for steak or any other meats you can think of! Pair Air Fryer Vegetables with Air Fryer Steak, easy Air Fryer Salmon, or Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Breast! They’re also perfect for meal prep, because you can make them in advance and reheat later.

Recommend Air Fryer & Accessories
The Air Fryer that I use, love, and always recommend is the Cosori Air Fryer. It’s an Air Fryer that I’ve been using for quite a while now, comes with a large square basket which means that I can fit lots of food, and it’s a powerful gadget that you will enjoy using.

Top Tips
Frozen vegetables are great to use. Air fry frozen veggies straight from the freezer for a quick side dish, see my notes on this below.Don’t overcrowd your Air Fryer basket! When you Air Fry, make sure that the vegetables don’t touch each other too much so they get crispy instead of steaming.
Cooking From Frozen
You can also Air Fry frozen vegetables, but you have to keep in mind that they won’t turn out as crisp as if you were cooking fresh vegetables. I recommend following the same method of air frying that I use to make Air Fryer Frozen Chicken Wings, you’ll just have to adjust the cooking time. Basically, cook frozen vegetables for 7-8 minutes, then spray with oil and sprinkle with seasonings then air fry for 10 more minutes or until the vegetables are tender and crisp!
