Air Fryer Roasted Zucchini
Air fryer roasted zucchini is my favorite way to use up this veggie when I don’t feel like doing much extra work. Just cut, season, and roast—it makes a quick, tasty side dish with almost no effort.
Equipment
- measuring spoons
- 1 Air fryer
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- ½ teaspoon salt*
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Rinse and pat dry zucchini. Trim off the ends. Quarter each zucchini length wise. You will have 4 long pieces per vegetable.
- Place the zucchini in a single layer on a plate. Sprinkle with salt and let them rest for about 15 minutes. Once the moisture is released, pat them dry with paper towels, gently pressing to remove as much water as possible.
- Add zucchini to the bowl. Season them with ½ teaspoon garlic powder , ½ teaspoon dried parsley, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Preheat air fryer for 5 minutes. Arranges zucchini pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 15 minutes, flipping them 3 times every 5 minutes for all the sides to get evenly browned.
Notes
Salt: I used about ½ teaspoons of salt per 2 medium zucchini. It may seem too much, but the salt will be absorbed by the paper towels with excess moisture.
Serving: you can serve this roasted zucchini with your favorite dip, as a side with chicken, salmon, steak or any other main dish.
Seasonings: Use your favorite herbs and spices in place of those I have listed in the recipe card.
