Ingredient notes

Full ingredient amounts and instructions are on the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

• mushrooms I used carmini mushrooms, but use any mushrooms you like.
• Yellow squash This summer squash is very similar to zucchini.
• Squash This recipe is a great way to use up your garden zucchini, or a “gift” of zucchini.
• Sweet peppers I use sweet banana peppers from my garden, but red pepper is perfect too.
• red onion Red onion is a milder sweet onion when raw. However after cooking red and yellow onions are very similar, so feel free to use yellow onions if that’s what you have.

• Parmesan Freshly grated parmesan cheese adds a delicious and crunchy taste. If you’re vegan, you can substitute nutritional yeast, or omit the cheese and these roasted veggies will still be delicious.
• Olive oil You can also use avocado oil.
• lemon juice Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a bright pop of flavor. Feel free to use balsamic vinegar instead.
• spices Use your favorite spices. I used Italian seasoning, and garlic powder along with salt and pepper. If you like a hint of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

how to do it

1. In a large bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
2. Spread the vegetables in one layer in the basket of the air fryer. Roast for 10 minutes.
3. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and cook for another 5 minutes
4. The vegetables will be slightly caramelized and soft, but still slightly crunchy.

Effective tips

• Use any combination of vegetables. In this recipe I used a mixture of vegetables with similar cooking times. If you want to add some root vegetables, like potatoes, sweet potatoes, or carrots, remember that they will take longer to cook. They need to go into the air fryer first. Add the softer vegetables after the root vegetable is partially cooked.
• Slice the vegetables into pieces of equal size so that they cook evenly.
• Try to put the vegetables in the air basket for frying in one layer for maximum caramelization. Depending on the size of your air fryer, this means you may need to cook in batches.
• Store leftover roasted vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, return them to the air fryer at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.
