Description
A cozy fall treat of perfectly roasted zucchini, seasoned and cooked in the air fryer for a deliciously simple side dish.
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchinis, sliced into rounds or half-moons
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the zucchini: Start by thoroughly washing the zucchinis under running water. Slice them into rounds or half-moons, making sure they are about 1/2 inch thick for even cooking.
- Mix the seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.
- Coat the zucchini: Add the zucchini slices to the bowl and toss them in the oil and seasoning mixture. Ensure every piece is coated well for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). This step is essential for getting that perfectly roasted texture.
- Arrange in the air fryer: Place the coated zucchini in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If necessary, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry the zucchini: Cook the zucchini for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. You want them to be golden brown and crisp-tender.
- Garnish and serve: Once cooked, transfer the roasted zucchini to a serving platter and sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil if you like. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Try to cut the zucchini into uniform shapes for even cooking. Adjust seasoning as desired.
