Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 2 parsnips
  • 3 carrots
  • ½ red onion* diced into quarters
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ tablespoon rosemary leaves finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar optional
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  • Prepare the vegetables. Peel and top and tail the sweet potatoes, carrots and parsnips. Dice into small bite-size pieces. Peel the red onion and cut into half. Then cut the half onion into four pieces.
  • Preheat the air fryer at 390F / 200C for 3 minutes.
  • Pour the olive oil and apple cider vinegar (if using) into a small bowl. Add the diced rosemary, garlic powder and salt. Stir or whisk well to combine.
  • Scatter the root vegetables into your air fryer basket in an even layer with a little space between them so the air can circulate. Drizzle on the rosemary garlic oil. Air fry the root vegetables for 15-20 minutes, to the amount of browning that you like. Shake the basket after 10 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the roasted vegetables from the air fryer basket with tongs as it will be very hot.

Notes

*My low histamine readers may prefer to use white onion, or omit from the recipe.
  • Dice the vegetables into pieces of roughly the same size for an even cook time.
  • You may need to work in batches if you have a smaller air fryer.
  • Cook time will vary slightly depending on the size of your root vegetables, how hot your air fryer runs and how much browning you like. For more browning, air fry the root vegetables in two minute intervals.
  • Nutritional information is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
