If you like, choose just a few of these vegetables to air fry, or swap in other vegetables that you have on hand. Tender veggies like asparagus, Brussels sprouts, and green beans would be good additions. Avoid tough root vegetables like beets or sweet potatoes.

Not preheating the air fryer. When cooking foods that aren't already precooked, such as meats, fish, vegetables or potatoes, preheating is essential to ensure the food doesn't end up soggy.
While you would typically add oil to a pan before adding your food, the case is not the same when using an air fryer. In a bowl, toss your food in a few teaspoons of vegetable oil or olive oil along with your seasoning before putting it in the air fryer. This method works best for cooking fresh meats and vegetables.
