Roasted veggies is one of the best ways of having healthy dinner. Especially if it is cold outside. You can just pair crispy vegetables with some tomato soup or garlic bread. Roasting veggies in an oven or having air fryer roasted vegetables helps you relax too.
Airfryers are faster ovens and does all the cooking without you standing and cooking for hours. You can use any herbs you have handy on favorite vegetables. Be it mint or fennel, thyme or rosemary. Add some feta to air fryer veggies or just make it vegan. I love pairing it with mushroom soup or Italian bean soup for a hearty meal.
