Stagger by cooking time
Broccoli and onion need a little advantage. Water-rich zucchini and mushrooms stay better in baking pan due to the later addition.
Mediterranean Inspired Recipe

Why this recipe works
Colorful air fryer vegetables with coordinated cooking times
A vegetable mix is better if not everything comes into the basket at the same time. This recipe arranges the ingredients after cooking time and keeps the pieces large enough so that they do not dry out in the air. It is suitable as a side dish or with dip and bread as a light dinner.

Kitchen know-how
Tips for Air Fryer Vegetables
Vegetables really dry
Wet roses and mushrooms release additional steam. A dry surface promotes roasting aromas and prevents an watery basket base.
Leave air between the pieces
In a smaller basket, halve the amount. Closely packed vegetables are soft, but hardly browned.
