  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 heaping cup broccoli florets

Instructions

  • Cook: Transfer veggies to basket or tray of your air fryer, making sure they're in a single layer (you may need to work in batches). Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender and a bit charred at the edges.

Notes

The green sauce picture in the video is my pesto sauce from our high-protein Pesto Chickpeas!
To air fry tender veggies: Includes zucchini, bell pepper, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, and green beans. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking halfway through.
To air fry firm veggies: Includes potatoes, carrots, beets, and winter squash. Chop small and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 30 minutes, shaking occasionally.
To air fry frozen veggies: Follow the same method as fresh, but add a few extra minutes and don’t overcrowd. Space helps them roast instead of steaming.
