Ingredients

For the Roast:

• 2-pound beef or pork roast (or chicken)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon paprika

For the Vegetables:

• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1 large onion, peeled and cut into wedges
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Roast

1. Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, and paprika to create a seasoning paste.
3. Rub the seasoning paste all over the roast, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 2: Air Fry the Roast

4. Place the seasoned roast in the air fryer basket.
5. Air fry at 360°F (180°C) for 25-30 minutes per pound, flipping halfway through. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness:
   • Beef: 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium
   • Pork: 145°F (63°C)
   • Chicken: 165°F (74°C)

Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables

6. While the roast is cooking, toss the potatoes, carrots, and onion wedges with olive oil, salt, black pepper, thyme, and rosemary in a large bowl.

Step 4: Air Fry the Vegetables

7. Once the roast is done, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for 10 minutes.
8. Place the seasoned vegetables in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the vegetables are crispy and golden brown.

Step 5: Serve

9. Slice the rested roast against the grain and arrange it on a serving platter.
10. Surround the sliced roast with the crispy air-fried vegetables.
11. Serve the air fryer roast dinner with your favorite gravy or sauce.

Tips for Success

• Monitor the Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the roast reaches the desired doneness.
• Rest the Meat: Allowing the roast to rest before slicing helps retain its juices and enhances flavor.
• Crisp Vegetables: Make sure the vegetables are cut into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
