🔪 How to Make Air Fryer Vegetable Skewers
Preheat your air fryer @400°F for 5 minutes.
Cut the bell peppers and red onion into large pieces that are similar in size, then add them to a mixing bowl.
Wash, dry and slice the zucchini into rounds about ½” thick. Add them to the bowl with the onions and peppers.
Clean your mushrooms and tomatoes, then add them to the same bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the top, then sprinkle in the Herbs de Provence and garlic salt, then gently toss to combine. Make sure all the veggies are well coated.
Skewer the veggies alternating each type until all have been skewered.
Add in the skewered veggies in a single layer.
Air fry for 6-8 minutes or until cooked through.
💡 Tips for Making Vegetable Kebabs
- Always preheat your air fryer before cooking. This ensures that your veggies cook evenly and get that nice color on the outside.
- Make sure all your vegetable pieces are roughly the same size. This ensures they cook at the same rate and avoids unevenly cooked kebabs.
- Arrange the skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure there's a little bit of space around each skewer. Overcrowding can cause then to cook unevenly.
- Before skewering, toss your vegetables in olive oil and seasoning to ensure they’re evenly coated. This is what gives them consistent flavor and texture.
- Since air fryers can vary in the way they cook, start checking your veggies a minute or two before the suggested cooking time is up. They should be tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
☑️ Storage Instructions
Allow the kebabs to cool to room temperature before transferring to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
To reheat, place the kebabs back in the air fryer or a hot oven for a few minutes until heated through.
🍴 What to Serve with Vegetable Kebabs

🔄 Substitutions and Additions
- Bell peppers: Replace with other types of peppers like green or red bell peppers, or use poblano peppers for a different flavor.
- Zucchini: Swap with yellow squash or cucumbers for a similar texture.
- Herbs de Provence: If you don’t have Herbs de Provence, try using Italian seasoning or a blend of dried thyme, oregano, and rosemary.
- Marinade: Marinate the veggies in a simple mixture of liquid aminos, balsamic vinegar, or your favorite marinade before air frying for added depth of flavor.
- Cheese garnish: Once they’ve finished cooking, generously sprinkle the kebabs with finely grated parmesan.
- Add some heat: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne on the veggies before cooking for a bit of heat.
- Fresh herbs: Garnish the cooked kebabs with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a burst of freshness.
Can I Prepare These Kebabs in Advance?
Yes, you can prepare the skewers ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook. Just be sure to cook them fresh for the best texture.
Can I Use Frozen Vegetables Instead?
Fresh vegetables are preferred for this recipe to achieve the best texture and flavor. If using frozen, make sure they are thawed and pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
Can I Cook These Kebabs in the Oven Instead?
Sure. Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake the kabobs on a baking sheet for about 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the veggies are cooked through.
Is it Kebab or Kabob?
It's actually both! "Kebab" is the traditional term used in many Middle Eastern and Asian countries, while "Kabob" is the variation more commonly used in the United States. Both terms are correct and can be used interchangeably.
