- Mix frozen beans or frozen carrots with oil and garlic salt and place them into the air fryer basket.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes or until sizzling, turning halfway through.

Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model. I recommend starting with less cook time, checking for doneness, then adding more time as needed.
Recipe Tips
- Cooking frozen vegetables at a higher heat reduces the chance of them going soggy.
- It is better to spray oil on them for even coverage rather than drizzling.
- If using an oven-style Air Fryer, try and use the middle tray as the top tray would cook quicker and the lower tray will cook slower.
- If your air fryer is small you may need to cook in batches.
Seasoning Ideas
Feel free to add seasoning so in the last 1-2 minutes of cooking. Add the dry seasoning of your choice, such as grated parmesan, lemon pepper seasoning, stone house seasoning, Italian seasoning, curry powder, smoked paprika, or red pepper flakes.
