Instructions
1. Prepare the Vegetables:
1. Wash and chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the courgette, bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and baby carrots.
2. Season the Vegetables:
1. Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
2. Sprinkle over the dried oregano, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt. Mix well until all the vegetables are evenly coated.
3. If using balsamic vinegar, drizzle it over and mix again for a touch of extra flavour.
3. Air Fry the Vegetables:

2. Spread the vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even crisping.
3. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
4. Serve & Enjoy:
1. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving dish and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil, if desired.
2. Serve immediately as a side dish, or enjoy over quinoa, rice, or pasta for a complete meal.

Cooking Tips:
Cut evenly: Chop all vegetables into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
Crispier texture: If you prefer crispier veggies, cook for an extra 2-3 minutes and shake the basket more frequently.
Customise the seasoning: Add a pinch of chilli flakes for spice, or try Italian seasoning for a different flavour profile.
Batch cooking: If making a large quantity, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer.
Storage Advice:
Refrigeration: Store leftover roasted vegetables in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezing: While some vegetables freeze well, bell peppers and courgettes may become too soft. If freezing, store in an airtight container for up to 2 months, then reheat in the air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 4-5 minutes.
Reheating: Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 3-4 minutes to regain crispiness.
