Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F
  2. Place your wooden skewers in a container of water, make sure they are totally submerged. This will make your skewers damp which will prevent them from burning in the air fryer.
Prepare your vegetables
  1. Prepare your veggies. Thoroughly wash the small portobello mushrooms, chop the sweet onion and peppers into 1-2 inch by 1-2 inch pieces (this size will allow you to skewer your vegetables without ripping them)
  2. Place vegetables in a mixing bowl and add the ingredients listed under "vegetable kabob marinade"

Air fry your vegetable skewers
  1. Place vegetable skewers in the preheated air fryer. Cook for 8 minutes at 375 degrees F. Flip your skewers at the 4 minute mark so they will cook more evenly. Skewers will be ready when vegetables are tender and juicy.
