- Drizzle the vegetables with avocado oil or olive oil.
- Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Toss everything thoroughly until the vegetables are evenly coated.
- Arrange the vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
