Steps
To prepare air fryer zucchini, first wash the zucchini, cut off the ends, dry with a cloth, and cut them into chunks.
In a bowl, add the zucchini, season with extra virgin olive oil, salt (to your taste), and mix everything to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Place the zucchini in the air fryer basket and cook at 347°F for 12-15 minutes, turning them a couple of times during cooking. To ensure they are cooked, use a fork to check if it pierces the zucchini easily; if so, you can finish cooking, otherwise continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Your zucchini is ready to be served, enjoy your meal!
Storage
Air fryer zucchini can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days in an airtight container. Reheat them for a few minutes before consuming.
Eggplants can be seasoned to taste: you can add oregano or mint leaves.
Cooking time and temperature may vary based on your air fryer, so I recommend checking the cooking often.
