Yield:

8 servings

Ingredients

½ cup vegan mayonnaise (such as Vegenaise®)

1 clove garlic, minced

½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice

salt and ground black pepper to taste

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary

3 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste

½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

1 pound parsnips, peeled and cut vertically into uniform pieces

1 pound baby red potatoes, cut lengthwise into 4 or 6 pieces

½ pound baby carrots, split lengthwise

½ red onion, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices

½ teaspoon grated lemon zest, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

Step 1

Combine mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl for the garlic aioli; place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Step 2

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) if your air fryer manufacturer recommends preheating.

Step 3

Combine olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; set aside to allow the flavors to mingle. Combine parsnips, potatoes, carrots, and onion in a large bowl. Add olive oil-rosemary mixture and stir until vegetables are evenly coated. Place a portion of vegetables in a single layer in the basket of the air fryer, then add a rack and another layer of vegetables.

Step 4

Air fry for 15 minutes.

Step 5

When the timer sounds, you may plate the veggies and keep warm, or continue cooking in 5 minute intervals until the vegetables reach desired doneness and browning.

Step 6

Place remaining vegetables in the bottom of the air fryer basket and air fry for 15 minutes, checking for doneness, as needed. Use the rack again, if you have more vegetables than fit in a single layer. When all the vegetables have cooked, serve with garlic aioli and garnish with lemon zest.
