PrintAir Fryer Zucchini (Easy, Cheesy Recipe)
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Zucchini ((sliced, about 1/2 inch thick))
- 1 tbsp Olive oil ((or avocado oil))
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp Dried oregano ((optional))
- 1/8 tsp Sea salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
- 1/3 cup Grated parmesan cheese ((plus more if needed))
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) for at least 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the zucchini slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat.
- Season with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the zucchini. Toss to coat again.
- Arrange the zucchini slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if needed. (Do not crowd the basket. Mine fit in the air fryer in one batch, but smaller air fryers may need multiple batches.) If the coating of parmesan looks sparse, sprinkle a thin layer of additional parmesan on top.
- Air fry zucchini for 8 minutes, until tender and golden brown.
