Step-by-Step Instruction

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (or oven if using).

Add the champignons to the carrots and cook for another 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a pan over medium heat and add the onions, cooking until they become translucent.
Stir the onions frequently to allow them to release their natural sweetness.
Mix in 3 tablespoons of Teriyaki sauce with the onions.
If adding chicken, sear it in a heated pan before adding the onions.

Once everything is heated through, transfer to a serving plate.
Layer the sautéed onions with Teriyaki sauce over the top.
If using chicken, arrange it around the vegetables.
Garnish with fresh greens or other desired toppings.
