Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 medium yellow squash
  • 2 sweet red peppers
  • 1 cup mushrooms
  • 1 small red onion

Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Topping

  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Cut all of the vegetables into equal bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  2. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F or its highest setting and allow it to preheat for a few minutes.
  3. Season Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the cut vegetables with olive oil, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper until all pieces are evenly coated.
  4. Arrange in Basket: Place the seasoned vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket to promote even roasting.
  5. First Air Fry: Air fry the vegetables for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
  6. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the vegetables and stir gently to combine.
  7. Second Air Fry: Return the vegetables to the air fryer and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly browned on the edges.
  8. Serve Hot: Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving dish and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Cutting vegetables into uniform sizes ensures even cooking in the air fryer.
  • Shaking the basket halfway through cooking helps the vegetables brown evenly.
  • Using parmesan cheese adds a savory finish, but for a dairy-free option, omit it or replace with nutritional yeast.
  • Feel free to swap or add other vegetables such as bell peppers or carrots depending on preference.
  • Serve as a side dish or over grains for a light meal.
