A quick and easy recipe for crispy air fryer zucchini that’s perfectly seasoned and ready in just 10 minutes. This healthy side dish features zucchini slices tossed in olive oil and spices, then air fried to golden perfection for a deliciously crunchy bite.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini, ends trimmed
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for cooking the zucchini.
  2. Slice the zucchini: Cut the zucchini into evenly sized rounds, then cut each round into quarters to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  3. Toss with oil and seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the zucchini pieces with extra virgin olive oil, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well to coat evenly.
  4. Arrange in the air fryer basket: Place the zucchini in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure the pieces aren’t touching to allow proper air circulation and crisping.
  5. Air fry the zucchini: Cook the zucchini for 5 minutes, then gently toss them with a spatula or shake the basket to turn the pieces. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until crispy and golden.
  6. Serve hot: Remove the zucchini from the air fryer and serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow even air circulation.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste—add more garlic powder or Italian seasoning if desired.
  • Use a kitchen towel or paper towel to pat dry zucchini slices before seasoning if they are very moist, to improve crispiness.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed immediately as the zucchini will soften if left to sit.
