**In short:** Air fryer roasted vegetables take about 15–18 minutes at 200°C (400°F) and need only a tablespoon of oil. Cut courgette, broccoli, carrot and pepper into similar 2–3 cm pieces, toss with oil and spices, and spread them in a single layer in the basket. Shaking the basket halfway through crisps the edges evenly.

## Ingredients

- Courgette — 2 medium
- Broccoli — 1 small head
- Carrots — 2
- Red pepper — 1
- Red onion — 1
- Cauliflower — ½ head
- Garlic — 3 cloves
- Olive oil — 1 tbsp
- Smoked paprika — 1 tsp
- Dried thyme — 1 tsp
- Lemon — to serve
- Salt — ½ tsp

## Method

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes. Cut the vegetables into similar 1-inch (2–3 cm) pieces; leave the garlic whole in its skin or lightly crushed.
2. Toss the vegetables in a large bowl with the olive oil, smoked paprika, thyme and salt until every piece is lightly coated.
3. Spread in a single layer in the basket without piling up. Cook in two batches if needed.
4. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes, shaking the basket or turning the vegetables halfway.
5. Take out when the edges are browned and crisp, squeeze lemon over the top and serve hot.

## Frequently asked questions

### What temperature and time for vegetables in an air fryer?

Most vegetables cook at 180–200°C (350–400°F) in 12–20 minutes. Courgette and pepper soften quickly, carrot and cauliflower take longer; cut the firmer ones smaller so everything finishes together.

### How do you get air fryer vegetables crispy?

Dry the vegetables well after washing, coat them in a thin film of oil and spread them out without piling. Extra moisture or a crowded basket steams the vegetables instead of crisping them.

### How long do cooked vegetables keep in the fridge?

About 3–4 days in a sealed container. Reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to bring back much of the crispness; the microwave tends to soften them.

### Can I change the list?

Of course. The ready-made list is just a starting point: delete, add, move items between categories.

### Do I need an account?

No. A room code is all it takes — no email, password or signup.

### How long is the list kept?

As long as you use it. A list is only deleted after a month without any activity; even opening the room resets the clock.

### Can I install it on my phone?

Yes. With the room open, tap "Save Room" to add it to your home screen and open it with one tap.
