Ingredients
- 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 1 bell pepper, any color, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small red onion, sliced into wedges
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup black olives, pitted and halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar for a tangy finish
- Optional additions: feta cheese, pine nuts, or artichoke hearts
Instructions
1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Wash all vegetables thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or pesticides.
- Cut the zucchini into half-moons, bell pepper into 1-inch pieces, and red onion into wedges.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes and black olives.
2. Season the Vegetables:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut vegetables.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
- If using, add balsamic vinegar for a tangy flavor.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 200°C (approximately 390°F). Let it heat for about 2-3 minutes.
4. Cook the Vegetables:
- Transfer the seasoned vegetables to the air fryer basket. Spread them out in an even layer to ensure they cook evenly.
- Cook for about 15-20 minutes. Shake the basket or use tongs to stir the vegetables halfway through the cooking time to ensure they roast evenly.
5. Final Touches:
- Once the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, remove them from the air fryer.
- Serve hot as a side dish. Optionally, sprinkle with feta cheese or pine nuts for extra flavor.
Notes
Always check your vegetables towards the end of cooking as air fryer models can vary in power. Adjust the cooking time accordingly to avoid overcooking or undercooking the vegetables.
