Easy and Quick Air Fryer Zucchini
I love how the air fryer makes it easy to roast vegetables quickly. While air frying, in between, we just need to shake the basket a couple of times and continue doing other kitchen chores. I also realized that I roast and eat vegetables more often after having an air fryer. If you have just started using an air fryer and are not sure where to start, this recipe is for you! While zucchini fries are quite popular, this recipe makes a mini version. To make the zucchini flavorful and crisp, I like to add breadcrumbs and chickpea flour. The recipe is easy, as we do not need to coat the chunks with the flour slurry and breadcrumbs. Making the Air Fryer Zucchini is highly customizable and you can make it your own recipe. Use your choice of spices and herbs, or omit something you do not like or have it.
How To Make Air Fryer Zucchini
Trim off the ends of the zucchini and cut into ¾ -inch chunks.
Transfer the zucchini chunks to a medium mixing bowl.
Add oil, breadcrumbs, chickpea flour, salt, pepper, chili flakes, sumac, dried basil, and dried oregano. Toss well to combine.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Add the seasoned zucchini to the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry the zucchini at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking a couple of times, until the breadcrumbs are golden and the zucchini is tender but not mushy. Or, air fry the zucchini until you reach the desired tenderness.
Transfer the air fryer zucchini to a serving plate and enjoy!
Storing Suggestions
Refrigerate the zucchini in an airtight container for two days. Reheat the air fryer zucchini in the air fryer until heated through or in the oven at 375°F.
