Air Fryer Zucchini w/ Lemon
Description
The recipe uses thinly sliced zucchini about 1/8 inch thick, coated evenly with a mix of lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt. Air frying at 400°F for 20-25 minutes crisps the edges while softening the interior, providing a balance between tender and slightly caramelized zucchini. Shaking or mixing the slices every 5 minutes prevents sticking and promotes uniform cooking.
The lemon juice adds a refreshing tang that complements the mild zucchini, while oregano and garlic powder give a fragrant, savory note. This simple vegetable side highlights the natural flavor and texture of zucchini enhanced by straightforward seasonings.
Try varying the spices to suit different tastes or cuisines. Leftover zucchini can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days, making it convenient for meals over several days.
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini sliced into ⅛ inch slices (approx. 6 cups)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice approx. one medium lemon
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste, sea salt
Instructions
- Slice your zucchini horizontally in slices that are approx. ⅛ inch thick and place in a mixing bowl.
- Then combine all remaining ingredients in a small bowl and pour the mixture over your zucchini slices. Mix well to ensure each piece is coated, using your hands to separate the slices, as you go.
- Place the zucchini in your basket and air fry at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, until golden. Gently shake your basket or mix the zucchini, every 5 minutes or so, for even cooking.
Notes
- Slice zucchini as evenly as possible to ensure uniform cooking throughout.
- Shake or gently mix zucchini every 5 minutes during air frying to prevent sticking and cook evenly.
- Experiment with different spice blends to vary the flavor while keeping preparation simple.
- Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
