A golden, herb-kissed summer side dish made in minutes. Crispy edges and tender centers shine without oil or flour—just olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs combine for Mediterranean-inspired simplicity.

1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Transfer to air fryer basket in single layer
