Ingredients Needed
This is one of those recipes that doesn’t require a long list of ingredients you can’t pronounce. You may even already have these ingredients hanging around your kitchen! Here’s what you’ll need to make fried zucchini in air fryer:
- Large Zucchini
- Olive Oil
- Salt

How to make Air Fryer Zucchini
Toss
Using a cutting board and a sharp knife, slice the zucchini into rounds and place them in a large bowl. Add the oil and salt and toss until everything is well coated.
Cook
Place the prepared zucchini in the mesh basket of your air fryer and cook. Once you’ve cooked about 10 minutes, flip the zucchini slices and repeat cooking on the other side, until they are golden brown and cooked to your liking.
DEVOUR
Place your cooked zucchini on a plate and sprinkle it with the parmesan cheese. Serve it up and enjoy!
How do you cook Zucchini so that it doesn’t get Mushy?
By cooking your zucchini in the mesh basket of an air fryer, it allows for the air to circulate all around the slices. This helps the water to evaporate, the zucchini to crisp up, and helps it to cook well instead of getting mushy.
Serving Suggestions
I love enjoying zucchini in air fryer as a snack, but it’s also a fantastic side dish because it pairs really well with all sorts of dishes. I recommend serving is alongside some baked honey cajun salmon or a juicy mango curry steak with coconut cauliflower rice. If you’re not into cauliflower rice, cook up some air fryer roasted potatoes beforehand and wrap them up in foil to keep them warm while you cook the zucchini! Now, you’ve got yourself a DELICIOUS meal that the whole family will enjoy!
