Great as a side for a meat or fish menu, they can be enjoyed on a plate or used to fill sandwiches, focaccias and flatbreads.

How to cook the air fryer zucchini

  • Let’s prepare the air fryer zucchini. Rinse the zucchini, remove the ends and cut them into strips of the same size using a sharp knife. Gather them in a bowl, add a good drizzle of oil and mix so they are well coated. Add the grated cheese, breadcrumbs and semolina and mix.

  • Arrange the breaded zucchini in the air fryer basket in an orderly single layer without overlapping (this is essential), sprinkle them with any remaining breading left in the bowl, add another drizzle of oil and cook at 392°F for 15-20 minutes or until they reach the desired golden color.
