I’ve been making these parmesan zucchini in the Air fryer ever since I bought mine and I can’t believe I don’t have this recipe on the blog yet.
I love roasting zucchini in the air fryer. It’s quick and easy to make. Much faster than cooking in the oven. The simple seasoning blend and the parmesan cheese takes this plain vegetable to next level giving it amazing flavor. This Air fryer zucchini recipe is made with pantry staples you probably have in your kitchen. I used bottled grated parmesan cheese as that’s a staple in my kitchen. But feel free to use freshly grated parmesan cheese.
About Time
- Prep Time 5 mins
- Cook Time 15 mins
- Total Time 20 mins
Ingredients
- 2 zucchini medium, about 1.5lbs
- 1.5 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tablespoon parmesan grated
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Rinse zucchini and pat dry with a paper towel. Trim both ends of the zucchini. Cut the zucchini into ½-inch thick slices. Cut the slices into four pieces for cubes. You can also cut the slices in half if you prefer not to cube them or leave them as rounds.
- In a small bowl, mix the onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, and parmesan cheese. Add the zucchini to a large mixing bowl, add the olive oil and give it a toss. Next, add the spice mix and toss or mix to coat the zucchini. Make sure all the zucchini slices are evenly coated with the seasoning mix.
- Preheat the Air fryer to 380F. Place the zucchini in a single layer in the Air fryer basket. Cook in batches if needed. Air fry zucchini at 380F for 12 to 15 minutes shaking the basket halfway through until golden brown. For al dente texture ( a bit of bite to it) cook for just 10 minutes.
- Serve warm. Garnish with grated parmesan cheese.
