How long to cook air fryer vegetables

Three things decide it, and none of them is on the clock. Answer them and the time below is yours.

Your time 18:00

What is going in?

How big are the pieces?

How full is the basket?

Air fryers cook by moving hot air. Blocked air means steaming, not crisping.

How to tell without a timer

Season now, in the basket.

A crowded basket steams. Shake it halfway and expect it softer than a single layer — if you want it properly crisp, cook it in two goes rather than giving it longer.

How it goes

  1. Oiled and in a single layer. Shake at the prompt.
  2. Shaken. Edges should be catching.
Every combination, as a table

The app does this, then learns

The timer above is the same arithmetic Kitchen Sense runs. The part a web page cannot do is the next bit: you say whether it came out right, and the next one is closer. Free, 68 dishes, no account.
