A quick and easy recipe for perfectly grilled vegetables using an air fryer. This healthy side dish features a colorful mix of bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion, seasoned with olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a delicious smoky flavor.
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion.
Add the olive oil, minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the vegetables. Toss well to coat evenly.
Place the seasoned vegetables in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Cook the vegetables at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even grilling.
Check the vegetables for tenderness and slight charring. If needed, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the grilled vegetables from the air fryer and transfer to a serving dish.
Serve warm as a side dish or over rice or quinoa for a light meal.
