Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and chop your chosen vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent crispiness.
  2. Season the Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil (natural), garlic powder (natural), paprika (natural), salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange in the Air Fryer: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket to maximize air circulation and crispness.
