Notes
- Choose zucchini which aren't overly small or large. A medium zucchini is about eight inches long and weighs about 7 ounces. The squash should have a smooth, dark green skin.
- You can use yellow zucchini, also called golden zucchini, or a mixture of green and yellow. There isn't really any texture or flavor difference between the two summer squash varieties.
- This recipe will yield fork tender zucchini pieces, which will turn slightly golden brown but will not be crispy.
- If you prefer crispy zucchini, slice zucchini into much thinner pieces (⅛") and air fry in batches. Put the slices of zucchini in the air fryer basket in a single layer. The crispy zucchini slices make a great healthy snack or substitute for French fries. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce.
- I have a Gourmia 6 quart air fryer, and all of the zucchini fit in one batch, but depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to cook in batches.
- Over cooking will result in mushy zucchini. Use a fork to check for doneness a couple of minutes before the cooking time is finished.
- Store leftover zucchini in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to three days.
- To reheat, put the zucchini in the air fryer which has been preheated to 400°. Heat for 4-5 minutes.
- To freeze, make sure zucchinni is completely cooled, then put the pieces on a tray in a single layer. Put the tray in the freezer for a couple of hours before packing them in a zip lock bag or freezer container.
