Air fryer zucchini is the perfect side dish to almost every meal. With just olive oil and basic seasonings, you have crispy zucchini slices that are full of flavor, and easy to make!
PREPARATION TIME:
PREP TIME:5 minutes
COOK TIME:10 minutes
TOTAL TIME:15 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
- 2-4 medium zucchini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Optional:
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS:
-
-
Wash and dry each zucchini. Then, slice thinly, no more than ¼ of an inch in thickness.
-
-
Place them in a medium bowl and then toss with olive oil until they are lightly are coated. Then, season with salt and pepper, or your favorite seasonings.
-
Lay the zucchini pieces flat in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not stack or overlap, so work in batches if necessary.
-
Air fry at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, shaking or tossing the zucchini halfway through cooking. Add additional time if necessary, until it reaches your desired crispness or tenderness. Drizzle with a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
NOTES:
Keep zucchini in a single layer so they can cook evenly on both sides.
If you slice zucchini rounds a little thicker, you may need to add 2-3 minutes to the cook time.
There is no need to use parchment paper or cooking spray on the basket. Because you coat the zucchini with olive oil, this prevents them from sticking. However, if using a baking sheet, you may want to lightly spray the tray.
I usually use 2-4 medium-sized zucchinis for this recipe. As they air fry, they will reduce in size, but I like to have an abundance of zucchini on our plates with our meal.
If you are looking for a breading mixture that you can use on zucchini, try the coating we use on our Air Fryer Onion Rings. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing.
