Air Fried Veggies

 

Air Fried Vegetables

Air frying is a delicious way toenjoy broccoli, asparagus, and summer squash.

  • Air Fryer
  • 1 head Broccoli (cut in small segments)
  • 1 bunch Asparagus (trimmed)
  • 1 tsp Olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1 each Lemon (cut in 6 wedges)
  1. Trim the veggies. If you are using items like zucchini or summer squash, cut them in sticks. Otherwise for broccoli you can use small pieces or cut in quarters. Toss in olive oil. Place in a single layer in an air fryer (or use oven broiler). Cook until crisp tender and lightly charred on the outside. We like to serve these veggies with dinner or as an appetizer with toast, fresh lemon, and a little light mayonnaise.

We pickled some red onions by slicing them and adding a little white vinegar to them. After an hour they became very delicious and turned a pink color. This makes a great garnish for your air-fried veggies.
