Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Air Fryer Zucchini
  1. Begin by washing and drying your zucchinis thoroughly to remove any dirt. Slice off the ends, then cut each zucchini into ¼-inch thick rounds.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the prepared zucchini slices in this flavorful mixture until they are evenly coated.
  3. Preheat your air fryer by setting it to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Carefully place the seasoned zucchini rounds in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 12-15 minutes, checking halfway through to shake the basket gently.
  5. If you'd like to enhance your crispy treat even further, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the zucchini during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  6. Once cooked, carefully remove the zucchini from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
