Description
Deliciously roasted air-fried zucchini that makes a perfect vegetable side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchini (approx 1 lb (500 g))
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400℉ (200℃) for 5 minutes.
- Rinse zucchini and pat them dry using a kitchen cloth.
- Cut the zucchini into even bite-sized (½-inch) pieces and set them aside. I have cut the zucchini into a half moon shape. There is no need to peel the skin.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper powder, salt, red pepper flakes, parmesan cheese, and zucchini pieces to a medium mixing bowl.
- Toss to coat the zucchini with the spices.
- Add extra virgin olive oil to the bowl and toss well.
- Transfer half of the zucchini slices to the air fryer basket and spread evenly.
- Air fry for 6-8 minutes till it looks nicely roasted and is cooked. You can shake the basket midway through for even cooking.
- Drizzle some lemon juice on top and serve hot as a vegetable side.
- Air fry the remaining zucchini in the same way. The second batch might take a minute less to cook.
Notes
- Shaking the basket during cooking helps with even browning.
- Adjust seasoning and spices according to your preference.
