Ingredients
- 3 medium sized zucchini squash sliced into 1/2 inch thick rounds
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 370 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Combine the sliced zucchini with the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Toss gently to coat.
- Spread the zucchini in an even layer in the air fryer. Cook for 8-10 minutes. Flip the zucchini slices halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Serve with fresh lemon wedges and freshly chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.

Notes
- Slice the zucchini evenly. For uniform cooking and consistent crispness, make sure to slice the zucchini into similar sizes so that they all cook evenly. I slice mine into rounds, but feel free to cut yours into sticks or wedge shapes as well.
- Pat the zucchini dry. After slicing and before adding the seasoning to your zucchini, use a paper towel to pat them dry. Removing excess moisture from the zucchini helps them crisp up better in the air fryer.
- Shake the basket a few times. This will help to ensure even cooking and that all surfaces of your zucchini get equally crispy.
- Variations: this version uses a super simple seasoning blend, but feel free to cook your zucchini with any other spices or blends you like.
- Feel free to omit the lemon juice. I like the brightness that lemon juice adds to roasted veggies (I use it in my Air Fryer Broccoli a lot) but feel free to leave it out; especially if you don't have any on hand.
- How to store: Any leftover air fryer zucchini can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
