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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
