Crispy, tender zucchini cooked in the air fryer, making for a speedy and family-friendly side dish that pairs well with various mains.
Ingredients
Veggies
- 2 medium zucchinis
Oil & Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- to taste Salt and pepper
Optional Topping
- to taste Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash and slice the zucchinis into rounds or half-moons about 1/4-inch thick.
- In a bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Cooking
- Place the seasoned zucchini in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Cook for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the zucchini is tender and slightly crispy.
- If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
Don't overcrowd the basket; cook in batches for the crispiest results. Cut zucchini uniformly so pieces cook evenly. Adjust time by thickness—thinner slices need less time. Reheat leftovers in the air fryer for a minute or two to restore crispness. For a full sandwich pairing, try an air fryer grilled cheese sandwich on the side.
