Ingredients
Veggies
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
Cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, toss zucchini slices with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
- Arrange zucchini in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the zucchini and cook for another 1–2 minutes until melted.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Slice evenly to ensure uniform cooking; 1/4-inch rounds are ideal. Don't overcrowd the basket—work in batches for the crispiest results. Flip halfway to brown both sides evenly. Use a light spray of oil if your air fryer tends to stick. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat at 350°F until crisp.
