Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 lb Zucchini (sliced, about 1/2 inch thick)
Seasonings and Oils
- 1 tbsp Olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp Dried oregano (optional)
- 1/8 tsp Sea salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
Cheese
- 1/3 cup Grated parmesan cheese (plus more if needed)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) for at least 5 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Prepare the zucchini: Place the sliced zucchini into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss well to evenly coat all slices.
- Season the zucchini: Add garlic powder, dried oregano (if using), sea salt, and black pepper to the zucchini. Stir thoroughly to distribute the seasonings.
- Add parmesan cheese: Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the seasoned zucchini slices and toss again to coat every slice with cheese.
- Arrange in air fryer basket: Place the zucchini slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Work in batches if your air fryer basket cannot fit all slices at once. If the parmesan coverage looks sparse on some slices, sprinkle a thin additional layer of parmesan on top.
- Air fry the zucchini: Cook the zucchini in the air fryer at 400 degrees F for 8 minutes or until the zucchini is tender and golden brown. Check and remove when done to your liking.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Feel free to adjust seasoning quantities according to your taste preference.
- You can substitute parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option, though it will alter the flavor.
- Best served immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
