Ingredients To Make Marinated Air Fryer Vegetables

Vegetables

• Zucchini
• Yellow Squash
• Mushrooms
• Red onion
• Red bell pepper

Marinade

• Olive oil and balsamic vinegar
• Honey
• Salt and garlic powder
• Dried thyme and oregano
• Garlic Powder
• Liquid smoke

How To Make Air Fryer Marinated Vegetables

• Chop the vegetables into evenly sized pieces.

• Place marinade ingredients in a large bowl and whisk until combined.

• Place chopped vegetables in bowl and stir until all vegetables are fully covered.
• Allow vegetables to marinate for 20-30 minutes.

• Place marinated vegetables in air fryer basket and cook on 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-18 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until tender.

Sprinkle a little bit of salt over the vegetables before serving.

Can you use other vegetables?

I found that these specific vegetables worked really well with the marinade and the texture was just perfect. You can of course experiment with other veggies you have in the fridge. Stay away from anything too soft like tomatoes though.

Can you use frozen vegetables?

It’s best to use fresh veggies in this recipe. You can cook frozen vegetables in the air fryer, but they won’t soak up the delicious marinade. Thawed frozen vegetables will contain too much moisture.

Can you make them ahead of time?

These vegetables are best served as soon as they are made. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge. They can be reheated in the air fryer or in the oven.

Recipe Notes and Tips

• Adding liquid smoke gives the vegetables a smokey grilled taste.
• Try not to marinate the vegetables for too long or your vegetables will be mushy rather than tender.
