- Place the vegetables in the basket of the air fryer and make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary, depending on the size of the air fryer,
- Preheat the air fryer at 400° F and air fry veggies for 10 minutes.
- Then add the pecans and shake the basket to toss the vegetables.
- Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp and golden brown.

Notes
- Add feta cheese, goat cheese or shaved parmesan cheese.
- Drizzle with a little balsamic glaze and toss, if desired.
- Swap the veggies and use other squashes or root vegetables. sweet potatoes, carrots, delicata squash, butternut squash, or turnips would also be delicious!
- Swap the rosemary for another spice like thyme or Italian seasoning.
- Garlic powder coats the vegetables better than fresh minced garlic and doesn't burn in the air fryer. If you 'd like to use fresh garlic, add it in with the pecans for the last few minutes.
- Swap the pecans for walnuts or sliced almonds if you prefer.
- Swap the pomegranate for dried cranberries if you like them better.
- Tips:
- Cut the vegetables close to the same size so they cook evenly.
- The oil helps the seasonings stick and the the vegetables get a little crispy. Use a spray oil if your prefer.
