Print Friendly, PDF & Email

We know how important it is to keep things fresh when you’re on Ideal Protein Phase -1. With Air Fryers gaining in popularity, we thought we would share with you some ways to more easily roast your veggies for variety.

Roasting vegetables doesn’t have to be hard, in all cases you can simply spray with or toss your vegetables in olive oil.

SInce all Air Fryers aren’t the same – we recommend that you set the cook time to HALF the total cook time to toss/stir/roll the vegetables so that they brown evenly.

Good Luck!

      Hi Barb,

      I wouldn’t do that unless you are sure you can control the temp of the onion. The actual pyrolysis reaction that causes caramelization doesn’t occur until the internal temperature of the onions has reached 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

      So hopefully armed with this info, you can make the decision what to do.
