13 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
14 - 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 2 minutes before beginning preparation.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
03 - Add chicken pieces and all prepared vegetables to the bowl. Toss thoroughly until evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
04 - Spread chicken and vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in two batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Its faster than ordering takeout and infinitely more satisfying
  • The vegetables get perfectly tender with irresistible crispy edges
  • You can customize it with whatever vegetables are languishing in your crisper drawer
02 -
  • Never overcrowd the air fryer basket or everything will steam instead of getting that gorgeous caramelization
  • Letting the air fryer fully preheat makes a bigger difference than most people realize
  • The vegetables continue cooking slightly after you remove them so pull them when theyre slightly less done than you want
03 -
  • Pat the chicken and vegetables dry before tossing with oil for better browning
  • Use tongs to give everything a good toss halfway through cooking
