Ingredients
Scale
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1–2 yellow squash
- 1 zucchini
- 1 cup broccoli
- ¼ medium red onion
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preparation: Skillfully slice red bell pepper, yellow squash, zucchini, red onion, and broccoli into uniform, bite-sized pieces to guarantee consistent culinary transformation.
- Seasoning Fusion: Cascade olive oil over vegetable medley in a capacious bowl, massaging seasonings – salt, garlic powder, and black pepper – ensuring comprehensive flavor distribution.
- Air Fryer Configuration: Strategically arrange vegetable ensemble in a singular layer within air fryer basket, maintaining sufficient space for dynamic heat circulation and preventing moisture buildup.
- Roasting Technique: Calibrate air fryer to 400°F (200°C), initiating a 10-12 minute roasting cycle, intermittently agitating basket to promote caramelized edges and prevent potential adherence.
- Culinary Finalization: Extract vegetables once achieving golden-brown exterior and tender interior, presenting an aromatic, nutrient-dense accompaniment ready for immediate consumption.
Notes
- Slice Strategically: Cut vegetables into uniform, bite-sized pieces to guarantee even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Oil Evenly: Thoroughly coat vegetables with olive oil to enhance caramelization and help seasonings stick perfectly.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Arrange vegetables in a single layer to ensure crispy, golden-brown edges and proper air circulation during roasting.
- Shake Midway: Vigorously toss the basket halfway through cooking to prevent sticking and achieve all-over golden-brown coloration.
