Air Fryer Zucchini w/ Lemon
This Air Fryer Zucchini with Lemon offers zucchini slices seasoned with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and fresh lemon juice, air fried until golden and tender. The method creates zucchini with a lightly crisped exterior while retaining the vegetable’s moisture, enhanced by the bright citrus and herb flavors. Routine mixing during cooking ensures even browning without sticking.
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.
