Air Fryer Vegetable Cooking Times
Use this guide as a starting point for crisp, roasted-style vegetables from the air fryer without heating a full-size oven.
Air Fryer Vegetable Cooking Times
These are practical starting ranges. Exact cooking time depends on thickness, quantity, starting temperature, and air fryer model.
| Food | Temperature | Approx. time | Turn / shake | Helpful note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Broccoli florets | 375°F | 8–12 min | Shake halfway | Light oil helps browning |
| Brussels sprouts, halved | 375°F | 12–16 min | Shake halfway | Halve larger sprouts |
| Potato cubes | 360°F | 12–18 min | Shake halfway | Keep pieces similar in size |
| Potato wedges | 360°F | 18–22 min | Shake halfway | Dry before cooking |
| Asparagus | 375°F | 6–9 min | Turn once | Thicker spears may need longer |
| Zucchini slices | 375°F | 7–10 min | Shake gently | Avoid overcrowding |
Tips for better results
1. Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces for more even cooking.
2. A light coating of oil often improves browning and texture.
3. Shake the basket halfway for vegetables with many small pieces.
4. Water-heavy vegetables can soften quickly, so start checking early.
