A quick and delightful air fryer recipe that turns zucchini into a crispy, tender dish without excessive oil, perfect as a side or snack.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Ingredients
- Grated Parmesan cheese for topping
- Fresh herbs for garnishing
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by washing and drying the zucchini. Cut off both ends and slice them into coins or sticks, depending on your preference for size and shape.
- In a bowl, combine the zucchini pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss until all the zucchini is evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Cooking
- Place the zucchini in the air fryer basket in a single layer. It’s okay if they overlap a little, but avoid overcrowding for the best results.
- Cook for about 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. You want the zucchini to be golden brown and crispy.
- If you choose, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top during the last 2 minutes of cooking for added flavor.
- Once finished, carefully remove the zucchini from the air fryer. Serve immediately with fresh herbs as a garnish, if desired.
