4.7 from 162 reviews

Crispy and flavorful Parmesan Air Fryer Zucchini is a quick and easy snack or side dish that combines tender zucchini chunks coated in olive oil, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese, air fried to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 3 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2 inch chunks

Seasonings and Oils

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Prepare the zucchini: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the zucchini chunks with olive oil, Italian seasoning, grated Parmesan cheese, kosher salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat the zucchini pieces evenly with all the ingredients.
  2. Start air frying: Lay the coated zucchini in a single layer in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking. Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Continue air frying: After 5 minutes, shake the air fryer basket to turn the zucchini pieces. Air fry for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until the zucchini is cooked through and has a golden, crispy exterior.

Notes

  • Cut zucchini into uniform 1/2 inch chunks for even cooking.
  • Shaking the basket halfway through helps the zucchini cook evenly and get crispy all around.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer’s power and zucchini size.
  • For extra crispiness, you can sprinkle a bit more Parmesan before the final minutes of air frying.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
