While all vegetables are good for the eyes, help in preventing macular degeneration and are necessary to keep the eyes healthy, it’s a known fact that the reds, yellows, and orange fruits and vegetables do the most good. Interestingly, the fruits and vegetables that are best for the eyes also happen to be the ones that are best for heart health as well. With summer upon out and cherry tomatoes coming into a bountiful season, along with peppers and zucchini, it’s time to go Mediterranean style and air cook these with some great herbs and spices. The recipe calls for dried herbs, but if you’re lucky enough to be growing your own, snip off a few leaves and chop and use instead. Small tomatoes can be used instead of cherry tomatoes as well, just chunk them eating size.
Mediterranean-Style Veggies
1 ½ Cups cherry tomatoes
1 sliced yellow bell pepper
1 sliced zucchini
1 ½ cups button mushrooms, halved
1 teas. Basil
½ teas. Oregano
½ teas. Thyme

Mix tomatoes, pepper, zucchini and mushrooms together, drizzle with olive oil and coat to cover. Spring on the spices, add sea salt if you must.
Set air fryer to 375 degrees and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, tossing halfway through. Done when the veggies are tender and roasted to your taste.
