# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Its ready in under 30 minutes but tastes like something you fussed over much longer
- The air fryer creates this impossibly tender texture while keeping the vegetables vibrant and sweet
02 -
- Every air fryer heats differently so start checking at 12 minutes to avoid overcooking
- The frittata continues setting slightly after you remove it so dont worry if the center looks a little jiggly right out of the basket
03 -
- Let your vegetables sit in the egg mixture for 5 minutes before cooking so they absorb some flavor
- Run a knife around the edge of the pan immediately after cooking to ensure clean release
