Yes, you can! All you need to do is cook the frozen vegetables the same way you would thawed vegetables. As the air fryer cooks them, it will also dry them out so they come out perfectly crispy.

Air fried vegetables are very healthy. Not only are you getting the vitamins and minerals that can sometimes be lost when boiling veggies, you also achieve this crisp dish without all the unhealthy oil from traditional deep frying. Air fryer vegetables are a healthy alternative.
Can you steam vegetables in an air fryer?
Yes, you can. To steam your vegetables, just add about 1/4 cup of water to the bottom of the air fryer, under the basket, and in the basin. Then place the basket of vegetables inside and cook.
Best way to reheat the veggies
