A healthy and delicious Low-Calorie Air Fryer Zucchini Parmesan recipe that offers a crispy, cheesy snack or side dish, perfect for those seeking a quick and nutritious option with minimal oil and fuss.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 3 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces

Seasoning & Cheese

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian herbs
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Season the Zucchini: Start by placing the sliced zucchini into a medium-sized bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and add Italian seasoning, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Toss the zucchini pieces well to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  2. Arrange and Begin Cooking in the Air Fryer: Lay the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Air fry the zucchini for 5 minutes initially, which helps the edges begin to crisp up beautifully.
  3. Shake and Finish Cooking: After the initial 5 minutes, carefully shake the air fryer basket to toss the zucchini pieces around. This ensures even cooking and crisping. Continue air frying for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the zucchini is golden and tender.

Notes

  • Ensure zucchini slices are cut uniformly for even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for best crispiness.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly based on thickness and air fryer model.
  • For extra parmesan flavor, sprinkle a little more cheese after air frying.
  • This recipe is great for a low-calorie, gluten-free, and vegetarian diet.
