Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
- Mix: In a mixing bowl, combine the frozen vegetables with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until all the veggies are evenly coated.
Step 2: Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This ensures that the vegetables start cooking immediately for the best texture.
Step 3: Air Fry the Vegetables
- Arrange: Place the seasoned frozen vegetables in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook: Air fry for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The vegetables should be tender and slightly crispy.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Once cooked, carefully remove the vegetables from the air fryer.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired, and serve hot alongside your favorite main dishes.
Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Frozen Vegetables
- Experiment with Seasonings: Feel free to customize the seasoning to your taste. Try adding Italian herbs, chili flakes, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
- Check for Doneness: Cooking times may vary based on the type and size of vegetables. Adjust as needed to achieve your preferred level of crispness.
- Storage: Leftover cooked vegetables can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a quick side!
