Keep an eye on them. Different air fryers cook differently. Check the progress of the vegetables to make sure they don’t end up soggy and overcooked.
If you are using frozen veggies don’t thaw them first. Thawing them will make them soggy. Just add the frozen veggies straight to the air fryer basket.
