INGREDIENTS
- 2 medium zucchinis, cut into ¼-inch slices (about 3–3.5 cups)
- 3 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Slice the zucchini into half-moon shapes or 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife. Place the zucchini in a medium mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the parmesan cheese, chili powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the zucchini and toss to coat evenly. Add the seasoning mixture and toss again until the zucchini is fully coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Lightly spray the basket with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the zucchini in an even layer in the air fryer basket.
- Close the air fryer and cook at 400°F for 15-17 minutes or until the zucchini is crispy and cooked through.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
NOTES
- Preheat your air fryer if required. Many air fryers will signal when preheating is necessary.
- Toss the zucchini well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Some overlap is fine, but too much zucchini will prevent it from getting crispy and may lead to uneven cooking.
- Shake the basket halfway through cooking for even crisping.
- For easy cleanup, line the air fryer basket with parchment paper.
- Storage: Allow the zucchini to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes.
