Jump to RecipeIngredients Needed:

How To Make Air Fryer Roast Vegetables Recipe?
- Prep the vegetables: wash and rinse the butternut squash, turnip, carrots, beetroot, and potato. Chop them into small cubes or chunks, trying to keep the size even so they cook evenly.
- Soak and dry: place the chopped vegetables in a large bowl of cold water and soak for 30 minutes. This helps remove starch and makes them crispier when roasted. Drain well and pat them dry using a clean muslin cloth or paper towels.
- Season the mix: add the dried vegetables to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, toss in the crushed garlic and rosemary, then season with salt. Mix everything well until the veggies are fully coated.
- Air fry the vegetables: preheat your air fryer to 180°C. Add the seasoned vegetables into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to turn them.
- Check and finish roasting: after 15 minutes, check if the vegetables are golden and tender. If needed, continue roasting in 3–5 minute intervals until cooked through and slightly crispy on the edges.

Recipe Tips:
- Soak the veggies in cold water: for 30 minutes before cooking. This helps remove extra starch and makes them roast crispier.
- Dry the vegetables well after soaking. If they’re wet, they will steam instead of roasting and won’t get that nice texture.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket or oven tray: If the veggies are piled up, they won’t roast evenly or get crispy edges.
- Use fresh rosemary or herbs: Dried herbs don’t give the same flavor. Fresh ones make a big difference in taste.
- Cut all vegetables the same size: this helps them cook evenly so you don’t end up with some too soft and others undercooked.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover air fryer roast vegetables cool down to room temperature. Then place them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Let the vegetables cool completely, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat: Set the air fryer to 160°C. Add the vegetables and reheat for 4–5 minutes until hot and crisp again.
