Air Fryer Zucchini
Description
This recipe prepares medium zucchini sliced into half-moons just under an inch thick, allowing them to cook through without becoming mushy. After drying, the zucchini is coated evenly with olive oil and a blend of smoked paprika, garlic salt, and black pepper, lending a smoky, savory seasoning profile. Grated Parmesan cheese is added and distributed to create a sharp, cheesy crust during cooking.
The seasoned zucchini is arranged in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cooked at 400°F for about 10 minutes until golden and cooked through. The result is tender zucchini with a crisp exterior enhanced by the Parmesan and spices.
This preparation makes a convenient side or snack, with leftovers stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days, retaining flavor and texture when reheated.
