Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 medium zucchini, cut into ½-inch thick rounds or half-moons

Seasonings

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prep the air fryer and zucchini: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Use a paper towel to pat the zucchini slices dry, helping them crisp up during cooking.
  2. Season the zucchini: Place the zucchini in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fine sea salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly until each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
  3. Air fry the zucchini: Arrange the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the zucchini is tender and edges turn lightly golden.
  4. Serve and enjoy: Remove the zucchini from the air fryer and serve them warm as a delicious, healthy side dish or snack.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  • You can adjust the seasoning to taste by adding paprika, Italian herbs, or Parmesan cheese after cooking.
  • If zucchini are very moist, patting dry is crucial to achieving the best texture.
  • This recipe works well with other summer squash varieties.
