Some Useful Tips
Oil first: Tossing the vegetables in first will ensure that the rest of the powdered seasoning will cling to the vegetables.
Scrub or Peel: You do not have to peel every vegetable. In fact, the skin of potatoes is known to contain plenty of Vitamin C. If you choose not to peel, just scrub your root vegetables in water.
Microwave: To speed up the air frying process, microwave your seasoned, chopped root vegetables in a microwave-safe bowl with a couple of teaspoons of water.
Frequently Asked Questions About Air Fryer Roasted Root Vegetables
Can this recipe be made in the oven?
Yes, absolutely! For oven-roasted root vegetables, preheat the oven to 350°F (180 °C) for 10 minutes. Line your roasting tray with baking paper or a silicone baking mat. This will make it super-easy to clean your tray later. Arrange vegetables in a single layer and roast at 450°F / 230 °C for 40 – 60 minutes, depending on the oven capacity.
Can you freeze roasted vegetables?
Root vegetables have lower water content, which makes they perfect for freezing. Once cooled, place them in freezer bags and store them for up to 6 months.
What to serve with roasted root vegetables?
Add some protein you like. Some suggestions: Pan-fried tofu, tandoori paneer, air-fried fish, teriyaki salmon, roasted chicken drumsticks, or garlic butter beef bites.
Here is an excellent slow-cooker short rib chili recipe that pairs perfectly with the roast vegetables.
