Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 2 medium medium zucchinis
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by washing the zucchinis under cool water to remove any dirt.
- Slice the zucchinis into thick rounds or half-moons, about ½ inch in thickness.
- In a large bowl, combine the zucchini slices with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the zucchini is evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Cooking
- Place the seasoned zucchini in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
- Cook the zucchini in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Check for doneness; the zucchini should be golden brown and tender. Add an additional 2-3 minutes if a crispier finish is desired.
- If you like, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top after cooking.
- Remove the zucchini from the air fryer and serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, slice the zucchini evenly and preheat the air fryer. You can also experiment with different herbs and spices based on your taste preference.
