- I’m a nutritionist, and when I crave a crunchy snack, I like to make crispy air-fried vegetables.
- I find that broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes get the crispiest.
- I sprinkle garlic powder or Parmesan cheese on the veggies and dip them in honey-cilantro sauce.
I’m a licensed nutritionist, so it sometimes surprises people to know that I crave salty, crispy fried foods.
I like to make crispy food in my air fryer and one of my favorite recipes is for broccoli — the first time I made it, I told my friends, “I feel like I’m eating potato chips!”
Here’s how I make these crispy vegetables that taste like chips.
The recipe is easy and requires only a few ingredients
For the recipe, I cut up broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, or sweet potatoes into bite-size pieces. I find that these vegetables, especially broccoli, are the best for this recipe since they get crispy and retain their flavor.
To add even more flavor, you can sprinkle garlic or onion powder, paprika, or some shredded Parmesan cheese on top. I also like to dip my veggies in honey-cilantro sauce or chipotle aioli.
Finally, don’t air-fry more than you can eat in one sitting. Air-fried foods aren’t nearly as good reheated, so just make a fresh batch.
