Instructions:

1. Put the potatoes and water in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for about 4 minutes. Drain and set it aside.
2. Put the eggplants, zucchinis, potatoes, and peppers in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the salt and pepper, then drizzle the olive oil.
3. Toss them together, then transfer them to the air-fryer basket. Air-fry for about 24 mins in the air-fryer at 180°C/355°F, and toss the veggies through halfway.

5. Pulse these ingredients using a hand blender and pour the olive oil and continue to pulse them until they become paste consistency with fine-particles. Set aside.
