Ingredients
  

Veggies

  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 medium yellow squash

Oil & Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

Salt & Pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • fresh cracked pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the air fryer to 475F (240C).
  • Wash and trim the ends off of the squash and zucchini. Cut them into rounds or half moons (about 1/2 to 3/4 cm thick).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, squash, olive oil, and seasonings. Mix until all of the rounds are evenly coated.

Cooking

  • Transfer the squash and zucchini to the air fryer in an even layer and cook for 12 to 15 minutes.
  • About halfway through, stop the cooking and shake the basket. Ensure none of the rounds are sticking together, and swap the rounds on the outside that tend to cook faster.
  • The vegetables are done when they are nicely browned. Serve and enjoy right away!

Notes

For best results, avoid overcrowding the basket, slice uniformly for even cooking, and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
