How to Make the Recipe

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your delicious roasted chicken and vegetables:

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
2. Add the chicken and vegetables to a large mixing bowl.
3. In a separate small mixing bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Pour the oil over the veggies and chicken, tossing to coat everything evenly. Then, sprinkle the spice blend over the mixture and toss well to ensure everything is coated.
5. Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Working in batches, add half of the chicken and vegetable mixture to the bottom of the air fryer basket in an even layer. It’s okay if some of the chicken and veggies overlap.
6. Close the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
7. Remove and serve hot, topped with dried or fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon if desired.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some helpful suggestions to ensure your dish turns out perfectly:

• Feel free to swap out the vegetables based on what you have in your fridge. Broccoli, carrots, or asparagus work wonderfully!
• If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice mix.
• For a more robust flavor, marinate the chicken in the oil and spices for 30 minutes before cooking.
• Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket; cooking in batches will give you the best results.

How to Serve

This roasted chicken and vegetables dish is incredibly versatile! Here are some serving suggestions:

• Serve it over a bed of quinoa or brown rice for a wholesome meal.
