Cooking vegetables in a Cosori Dual Air Fryer is simple and results in delicious, crispy dishes. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you prepare your vegetables: ### Ingredients: - Fresh vegetables (e.g., broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, asparagus, etc.) - Olive oil or cooking spray - Salt and pepper (or your choice of seasonings) ### Instructions: 1. **Preparation**: - Wash and dry your vegetables. - Cut them into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. - For tougher vegetables (like carrots or potatoes), you might want to cut them thinner or pre-cook them briefly to ensure they cook through. 2. **Seasoning**: - In a bowl, toss the vegetables with a small amount of olive oil (about 1-2 tablespoons for 4 cups of vegetables). This helps them crisp up. - Season with salt, pepper, and any other spices you prefer (such as garlic powder, paprika, or herbs). 3. **Preheat the Air Fryer** (optional): - Some recipes suggest preheating the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 375°F (190°C) for best results. 4. **Air Frying**: - Place the vegetables in the air fryer basket. Make sure not to overcrowd them; it's best to work in batches if necessary. - Set the temperature to 375°F (190°C). - Air fry for about 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Cooking times may vary based on the type and size of the vegetables. - Check for tenderness and desired crispiness. If they need more time, continue cooking in 2-3 minute increments. 5. **Serve**: - Once done, carefully remove the vegetables, and serve them hot. You can squeeze some lemon juice on top or add grated cheese if you like. ### Additional Tips: - **Experiment**: Different vegetables have different cooking times. Denser veggies like potatoes may take longer than softer ones like bell peppers. - **Mixing Options**: You can combine different vegetables, but make sure they have similar cooking times to avoid overcooking some while undercooking others. - **Cleanup**: Depending on your model, there could be a removable basket and tray. Ensure to clean them after use for longevity. Enjoy your perfectly cooked vegetables from the Cosori Dual Air Fryer!
