Notes

Tips for great Air Fryer Zucchini:

Zucchini is an easy vegetable to air fry. It is somewhat bland so seasoning it just right really brings out the taste.

Make sure to season properly - I love to use some garlic powder, salt and pepper to season my zucchini. You can use onion powder as well or even cayenne pepper to give it a little kick!

Do not overcook the zucchini - Make sure you do not overcook the zucchini. Using a preheated air fryer will allow you to ensure it is cooked perfectly. The longer you cook the zucchini to "soggier" it will taste as it gets softer the longer it is cooked.

Use a good mix of the Panko and Parmesan - This will give your zucchini a nice crunch with the crust of the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese.

Air Fryer Tip: To preheat your air fryer, just turn it on for 5 minutes before adding in the food.
