Description

These homemade air fryer tempera mixed vegetables make a deliciously light and crispy appetizer or snack. Serve as-is or with any dipping sauce.

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 eggs
2 tablespoons water
1 cup panko bread crumbs
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup whole green beans
1/2 cup whole asparagus spears
1/2 cup red onion rings
1/2 cup sweet pepper rings
1/2 cup avocado wedges
1/2 cup zucchini slices

Directions

1 Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
2 Combine flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Whisk eggs and water together in another shallow dish. Stir panko and oil together in a third shallow dish.
3 Sprinkle green beans, asparagus, red onion, sweet pepper, avocado, and zucchini with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; dip in flour mixture, then in egg mixture, and finally in panko mixture to coat.
4 Arrange half of the vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook until golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with additional salt, if desired. Transfer vegetables to oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining vegetables.
