Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis, cut into ¼ inch slices
  • 2 medium yellow squash, cut into ¼ inch slices
  • ½ pound whole fresh mushrooms
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into chunks
  • 12 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅓ cup olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 380°F for about 5 minutes.
  • While the air fryer preheats, place the vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add olive oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder to the vegetables, then toss thoroughly to coat evenly.
  • Let the vegetables marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Thread the vegetables onto skewers, alternating the pieces for a colorful and balanced look.
  • Arrange the skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring there is space between them for even cooking. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • Air fry at 380°F for 6-8 minutes, then flip the skewers and cook for another 3-5 minutes until fully cooked and slightly crispy.
  • Once done, remove the skewers from the air fryer and serve.

Notes

  • Preheat the air fryer for the best texture. If using wooden skewers, soak them for 20–30 minutes and trim to fit the basket.
  • Cut vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking, and keep kabobs in a single layer to avoid overcrowding.
  • Lightly coat with olive oil for added flavor and crispness.
  • Flip halfway through the 10–12 minute cook time to ensure even browning.
  • When done, veggies should have lightly charred edges and tender centers—easy to pierce with a fork but still holding their shape.
