Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 zucchini (small to medium)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt or less if desired
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅓ to ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Slice the zucchini into ½-inch thick rounds.👉 Try to keep the slices uniform in thickness for even cooking. If they're too thin, the zucchini can become soft and mushy. If they're too thick, the parmesan may brown before the zucchini is fully tender.
- Add sliced zucchini, olive oil, salt, red pepper flakes and ground black pepper into a large bowl and toss well until thoroughly combined.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Once hot, arrange the zucchini rounds in a single layer in the basket and sprinkle the parmesan evenly over the top.👉 Try to keep most of the Parmesan on the zucchini slices rather than letting it fall into the basket. This helps create a delicious golden, cheesy crust on each round.
- 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.
