Air Fryer Greek Chicken Kabobs With Tzatziki

Air Fryer Vegetable Skewers (Vegetarian Variation)

Looking to prepare vegetarian skewers? This recipe is ideal for air fryer vegetable skewers utilizing the same delectable Greek marinade. The vegetables become exquisitely caramelized on the exterior while remaining tender on the interior.

For skewers consisting solely of vegetables, utilize a combination of zucchini, cherry tomatoes, yellow squash, and eggplant along with the bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions from the original recipe. Chop all vegetables into 1-inch pieces to ensure uniform cooking. Thread the vegetables onto skewers, alternating hues and textures to enhance their visual appeal.

Cook air fryer vegetable skewers at 400°F for 12-13 minutes instead of the complete 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Vegetables cook a bit quicker than chicken, so check them at the 12-minute interval to avoid overcooking. The bell peppers should be soft with slightly charred edges, and the mushrooms will shed their moisture and turn golden brown.

To avoid vegetables slipping off the skewers, pierce through the center of each piece rather than the edge. You can also alternate between softer vegetables like mushrooms and sturdier ones like bell peppers for improved stability. If you’re preparing vegetable skewers in the air fryer alongside chicken kabobs, cook them on separate trays because they have varying cooking durations.
