Secrets For Perfect Air Fryer Roasted Veggies!

Look at the following useful tips and tricks before proceeding to make air fryer roasted brussels sprout and carrots:

• Try to use Brussels sprouts and carrots of equal size so that they all cook at the same time.
• Remove the tough bottom core or stem of the brussels sprout. Remove the dull, old-looking outer layers. Depending on your Brussels sprouts size, cut them into halves or quarters.
• Season well with salt, garlic, and olive oil to bring out the flavor of the veggies.
• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket with veggies. The veggies will turn out soggy and less crispy if the basket is overcrowded.
• Raw Brussels sprouts and carrots will have crispy edges when cooked in the air fryer. If you prefer them to be tender, you can par-boil them first.
• If you’re par-boiling the vegetables first, cook them for around 4 minutes in boiling water. Then carry on with the air-frying procedure. Par-boiling softens and cooks them through the center a little more.
• Cooking times will vary based on the size of the veggies and how well you like them cooked. I like them brown, crispy, and tender.
