- 1 each yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 each zucchini, sliced
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (such as basil, oregano, and thyme)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash and dry all the vegetables thoroughly.
- Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the red and yellow bell peppers, and slice the zucchini.
Mixing
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to mix the seasonings.
- Add all the prepared vegetables to the bowl and toss them in the seasoned olive oil until they are evenly coated.
Cooking
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
- Arrange the vegetables in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry the vegetables for 10–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.

- Once cooked, remove the vegetables from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving platter.
- Optional: sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the hot vegetables.
Serving
