This Frozen Veggies in Air Fryer Recipe is an easy way to cook up a healthy side dish that's high in nutritional value and flavor! Whether you're looking for an easy dinner for busy weeknights or a great side dish to accompany a main course, this mixed vegetables recipe will not disappoint!
Start by preheating your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5 minutes. This step ensures that your vegetables cook evenly and become nicely crisp.
While the air fryer is preheating, take a large bowl and drizzle olive oil over the frozen vegetable mix. Add your chosen seasonings, like salt, pepper, and season salt, and toss everything together to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated. This step is crucial for flavor development. 12 ounces Vegetable Mix, 2 tablespoons Olive Oil, Seasoning
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray, olive oil spray, or line it with a parchment paper liner to prevent sticking. Place the seasoned vegetables in the air fryer basket in a single layer to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking.
Cook the vegetables at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-12 minutes. Halfway through the cooking process, around the 5-minute mark, shake the basket to toss the vegetables. This ensures that all sides get crispy and cooked evenly.
After the initial cooking time, check the vegetables for your desired level of crispiness. If you prefer them to be more tender or crispy, add 2-4 minutes of cooking time.
Once your vegetables are cooked to your liking, carefully remove them from the air fryer. Give them a taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve them immediately as a warm, inviting side dish that pairs well with various main courses.
