These veggies taste like they hit the grill.
Slightly charred on the edges, tender in the center, and coated in bold seasoning—these air fryer veggies bring that smoky, roasted flavor without ever touching a grill. The zucchini turns soft with golden sear marks, the carrots caramelize into sweet, slightly crisp bites, and the broccoli gets those irresistible crispy tips.
Every piece is coated in spices that deepen as they cook, creating layers of flavor with every bite. You get that perfect mix of textures—crisp edges, juicy centers, and just enough char to make them taste like summer cookouts.
This is one of those easy, no-fuss sides that works with anything. Toss, air fry, and done. Minimal cleanup, maximum flavor, and ready in under 20 minutes.
