Ingredients
- 2 large zucchini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt or less if desired
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup to ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Wash, pat dry zucchini and slice them into ½-inch thick discs.Pro tip: Slicing them too thin may cause mushiness from overcooking, while slicing too thick may leave them undercooked before the parmesan topping browns.
- Add sliced zucchini, olive oil, salt, red pepper flakes and ground black pepper into a large bowl and toss well until thoroughly combined.
- Pre heat air fryer at 400°F for 11 minutes. When hot, place zucchini rounds in a single layer and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top of the rounds.Tip: Try to sprinkle all the cheese on top of the zucchini slices.
- Cook until the tops are golden brown (9 to 11 minutes). Serve hot!

Notes
Thickness - Cut zucchini into ½-inch thick slices for a bit sturdier yet well cooked vegetable.
Don't overcrowd - Make sure to place the rounds in a single layer in the basket, leaving a little space around each one. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches.
Make sure to sprinkle parmesan on top of slices rather than the basket.
