Air Fryer Zucchini
Zucchini crisps up nicely in this simple recipe. The interior is creamy and soft without feeling mushy, with the outside remaining crispy. A squeeze of lemon after cooking adds brightness and tang.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 large (8 ounce) zucchini, sliced ¼-inch thick
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice plus wedges for garnish
Directions:
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. Combine 2 tablespoons Parmesan, 1 tablespoon oil, ½ teaspoon oregano, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon pepper and ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper in a medium bowl. Add zucchini and toss to coat.
- Working in batches, if necessary, arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer in the fryer basket. Cook, flipping once, until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons lemon juice and serve with lemon wedges.
