A simple and delicious recipe for air fryer roasted vegetables featuring butternut squash, sweet potato, red pepper, red onions, baby potatoes, garlic, and thyme, perfectly seasoned with olive oil and roasted to tender, caramelized perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 small butternut squash, roughly chopped
  • 1 sweet potato, roughly chopped
  • 1 red pepper, roughly chopped
  • 2 red onions, cut into 8 wedges each
  • 200g Jersey Royals or baby potatoes
  • 2–4 garlic cloves, lightly bashed
  • A few thyme sprigs

Seasoning

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables. Roughly chop the butternut squash, sweet potato, red pepper, and cut red onions into wedges. Leave the baby potatoes whole and lightly bash the garlic cloves for a mild flavor infusion.
  2. Combine and Coat. Place all the vegetables, garlic, and thyme sprigs into the air fryer basket. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and shake or toss gently to evenly coat all items with the oil.
  3. First Roast. Set the air fryer to 200°C (392°F) and roast the vegetables for 20 minutes. This initial cooking softens the harder vegetables.
  4. Shake and Continue Roasting. After 20 minutes, shake the basket well to turn the vegetables, ensuring even cooking and browning on all sides.
  5. Finish Cooking. Roast for an additional 10 to 20 minutes, depending on your desired tenderness and caramelization, until all vegetables are cooked through and lightly browned.

Notes

  • Adjust roasting time based on the size of your vegetable pieces and your air fryer model.
  • Feel free to swap or add other seasonal vegetables like carrots, zucchini, or mushrooms.
  • Use fresh thyme sprigs for the best flavor, or substitute with dried thyme if unavailable.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle salt and pepper before roasting as desired.
  • This recipe is great as a side dish or can be tossed with grains or greens for a complete meal.
