Ingredients
Veggies
- 3 medium medium-sized zucchini About 1½ pounds
Oil
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
Spices
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 twists black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
- Wash and dry the zucchini; trim off both ends.
- Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise and then into ¼-inch half-discs.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the chopped zucchini with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Cooking
- Place half of the seasoned zucchini in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for 7–9 minutes until tender-crisp and lightly browned, shaking or flipping halfway.
- Repeat with the remaining zucchini if needed, then serve warm.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the basket; a single layer crisps best. Cut uniformly (¼-inch) so pieces cook evenly. Increase heat briefly at the end for extra crispiness and adjust time based on your air fryer model.
