Ingredients

2 cups cubed butternut squash (from 1 squash)
2 cups halved Brussels sprouts (about 20 whole Brussels sprouts)
2 cups cubed parsnips (from about 3 parsnips)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup raw pecan halves
1 cup fresh pomegranate seeds

Instructions

Add the butternut squash, brussel sprouts, and parsnips to a large bowl. Drizzle over the olive oil and sprinkle over the rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.

Transfer the vegetables to your air fryer, making sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the vegetables in batches.
Air fry the vegetables at 400°F for 10 minutes. Then, shake the air fryer basket and sprinkle over the pecan halves.

Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp and golden brown.
Transfer the vegetables to a serving dish and sprinkle over the pomegranate seeds. This side dish is perfect as-is but can also be topped with a drizzle of balsamic glaze if desired.

Notes

You can swap the veggies for virtually any veggies you like, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, beets, onion, zucchini, bell peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, mushrooms, or green beans.
Try to cut the vegetables into equal-sized pieces so that they all cook at the same rate.
If mixing in tender vegetables, add them in after the firm vegetables have already cooked for 5 minutes to avoid overcooking them.
Take care not to overcrowd the air fryer basket; otherwise, the veggies will steam instead of browning. You may need to air fry in batches.

Storage: Store air fryer roasted vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
