Step 3: Begin cooking frozen vegetables

Set the temperature to 350 degrees F on the air fryer setting, and cook for 5 to 8 minutes until they are crispy.

The Best Frozen Vegetables In the Air Fryer

Frozen Veggies In The Air Fryer Pro Tips:

Frozen: Keep your vegetables frozen. They will cook much better when you don’t let them defrost. Otherwise, you will end up with soggy and mushy vegetables.

Shaking: Shake the basket several times during the cooking process so that you end up with an evenly cooked batch of frozen vegetables in the air fryer.

Air Fryer: Since every air fryer is slightly different, check on the air fryer vegetables frequently. You can cook these in both an air fryer basket and an air fryer oven model. The recipe will work the same.

How do you cook frozen veggies in the air fryer, so they are not soggy?

The key is to make sure that you continue cooking frozen vegetables until they are crispy. If you remove them too early, they will be soft and mushy.

It’s equally as important to start with frozen vegetables, not thawed.

Can I Cook Fresh Air Fryer Vegetables?

Yes, you can make air fryer vegetables with fresh veggies. The biggest thing is that the cooking time is going to be different. Often fresh vegetables cook a little faster than frozen, so be sure to check them often as they cook.

What Can I Serve With Air Fryer Frozen Vegetables?

You can serve this healthy side dish with any of your favorite protein recipes, such as air fryer lamb chops, air fryer pork tenderloin, or even air fryer chicken.

Of course, if you find yourself in front of a perfect batch of frozen vegetables made in the air fryer, you could eat them alone!

Can I Use Parchment Paper in the Air Fryer?

Yes, the key to using parchment paper safely in the air fryer is to make sure that you properly weigh it down so it cannot hit the heating element.

Another thing to remember is never to preheat your air fryer with parchment paper. And here are some tips on how to make parchment paper yourself!
