How to make fajita vegetables in an air fryer?

In a small bowl add the spices along with some vegetable broth and olive oil. Stir nicely.

Slice the vegetable into strips. Place the vegetables on a large plate. Pour the prepared sauce on the veggies. If possible marinate for 1 hour. This will make the veggies absorb flavor nicely. However, you can also marinate them for 15 - 20 minutes.

Preheat the air fryer at 390F for 3 minutes. If your air fryer says preheating is not required, you may skip this. Now transfer the veggies to the air fryer basket. If a little sauce left (1 - 2 tbsp), add that to the veggies. It will drip at the bottom of the air fryer basket but it helps in keeping the veggies moist while getting cooked and stop over-drying the veggies.

Then start the air fryer at 390 F (195 C) for 10 - 12 minutes. Check and toss in every 5 minutes for even cooking. If you like more done, cook for 2 minutes more or till it gets a little charred.

Once cooked perfectly, remove from the air fryer and serve with tortillas along with your favorite toppings.
