Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m sharing a super simple recipe for delicious air fryer roasted root vegetables. This dish is perfect for a quick and healthy side, and it’s packed with flavour. Plus, using an air fryer makes the veggies perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside – what’s not to love?

Are air fryers worth it?

Using an air fryer has become my go-to method for cooking crispy dishes without all the extra oil. It’s a healthier alternative to deep frying, as it requires only a fraction of the oil while still achieving that irresistible crunch. Plus, air fryers are super versatile – you can use them to cook everything from veggies to meats to desserts! Cooking in an air fryer is also cost- and time-efficient. I usually cook just for myself, and heating up a small air fryer seems more reasonable than a large oven. Also, just pre-heating a traditional oven alone takes as much time as cooking a full meal in an air fryer.
