- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and peel the beets, sweet potatoes, carrots, and parsnips. Cut them into sticks or wedges, ensuring they are of similar size so they cook evenly.

- Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary, air frying for about 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Shake the basket every 5 minutes for even cooking.
- While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the vegan aioli. In a small bowl, combine the vegan mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Once the vegetables are done, remove them from the air fryer and transfer to a serving dish.
- Serve the air-fried root vegetables hot, accompanied by the vegan aioli dip. Enjoy!
