Description
Crispy Parmesan-coated zucchini bites made in an air fryer. Golden edges, tender centers, and a low-carb twist on a Mediterranean favorite.
Ingredients
3 medium zucchini (sliced into ¼-inch half moons)
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
Pat zucchini slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture
Toss zucchini with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper
Coat evenly in Parmesan cheese
Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8 minutes, then flip slices and cook 2–4 more minutes until golden and crispy
Notes
Slice zucchini uniformly for even cooking
Use freshly grated Parmesan (not pre-grated) for better crisp
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days
Reheat in air fryer for 2–3 minutes to restore crispiness
