Air Fryer Mediterranean Vegetables roast up perfectly in the air fryer. The combination of vegetables and spices is so flavorful. This is a healthy side dish that's so easy and quick to make.

Air fried mediterranean vegetables with feta and parsley.

If you've spent two seconds on my blog, you probably know how many air fryer recipes I have. I just love my air fryer so much. And these air fryer roasted vegetables are easy and delicious.

Tomatoes, zucchini, red onion, and bell pepper pair beautifully to create a flavorful side dish that only takes 15 minutes to roast in the air fryer.

Why do I love these air fryer Mediterranean vegetables so much (and why should you make them too? Let me tell you.

Why make air fryer Mediterranean vegetables

Flavorful - The veggies are the perfect pairing. The tomatoes add that acidity, while zucchini and bell pepper add a nice fresh flavor. And then the onion just gets roasted to perfection in the air fryer to impart a touch of sweetness to the dish.

Easy - All you need to do is slice up the veggies, toss with spices, and pop into your air fryer.

Healthy - Having these roasted vegetables helps get in four different varieties of vegetables in one dish! That diversity is both healthy and delicious.

Customizable - While I love this combination of vegetables, you can easily add some eggplant and/or mushrooms to the mix! I typically stay away from root vegetables like carrots/potatoes though, as those can take longer to cook.

Ingredients

  • Zucchini - just one zucchini works perfectly for this. I try for a medium size.
  • Cherry or grape tomatoes - Either cherry or grape tomatoes works for this recipe. Keep them whole.
  • Bell pepper - You can use any color of bell pepper! I prefer orange, yellow, or red for their bright colors that pair nicely with the zucchini and tomatoes.
  • Red onion - I used a quarter of a large red onion, but half of a medium or small would be delicious. Love onion? Add more!
  • Olive oil - You can use olive oil or avocado oil for these.
  • Dried oregano - Dried oregano helps to give it a delicious Mediterranean flavor. Don't have/like oregano? Use Italian seasoning instead.
  • Smoked paprika - Smoked paprika just helps give it that additional flavor that I love.
  • Salt - Salt helps bring out all the flavors of the Mediterranean vegetables.
  • Pepper - I just use some freshly cracked black pepper.

Recommended cooking tools

Air Fryer - The air fryer roasted vegetables cook perfectly!

Air Fryer Parchment Paper - I don't always use air fryer parchment paper, but sometimes I do for easier cleanup! Air fryer parchment paper has holes in it that lets the air flow through.

Serving suggestions

I love serving the air fryer Mediterranean vegetables with some crumbled feta cheese and fresh herbs (like parsley or basil).

They would also be delicious with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, drizzle of balsamic vinegar, or topped with a harissa vinaigrette or preserved lemon vinaigrette.

The roasted veggies are great as a side dish paired with Air Fryer Greek Chicken, Crispy Air Fryer Salmon, Baked Panko Parmesan Cod, or Air Fryer Tuscan Salmon.

And of course the Mediterranean roasted vegetables would be delicious tossed with some cooked pasta and maybe a little extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Recipe tips

  • This recipe is so delicious, but you can customize it! If you aren't a fan of red onion, leave it out. Want more zucchini? Add more!
  • This can easily be doubled or tripled, but then you may need to cook the vegetables in batches.

Can you refrigerate?

While I do think the air fryer roasted vegetables are best enjoyed immediately, you can store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer, a skillet, or the oven.

How to make Mediterranean vegetables in the air fryer

First, gather and prepare your vegetables. Remove the stem and insides of the bell pepper and then dice into chunks.
