This Irresistible 15-Minute Air Fryer Zucchini Parmesan recipe offers a quick, easy, and healthy snack or side dish. Featuring tender zucchini slices seasoned with Italian herbs and topped with Parmesan cheese, it delivers crispy, flavorful bites with minimal oil and fuss using an air fryer.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 medium-sized zucchini, unpeeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

Seasonings & Oils

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Cheese

  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, freshly grated or shredded

Instructions

  1. Prep the Zucchini: Wash and dry the zucchini thoroughly. Slice it into ½-inch thick rounds, keeping the peel on to enhance texture and flavor.
  2. Season the Zucchini: Place the zucchini slices in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure every slice is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  3. Preheat and Arrange: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lay the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure not to overlap or stack them for uniform cooking.
  4. Cook the Zucchini: Air fry the zucchini slices for 5 minutes. Afterward, remove the basket and gently shake or flip the slices to promote even crisping. Continue cooking for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until the zucchini is golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  5. Serve: Once cooked to your liking, carefully remove the zucchini from the air fryer. Serve immediately as a delicious snack or side dish. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce if desired for an added flavor boost.

Notes

  • Ensure slices are uniform in thickness for even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to prevent sogginess.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
  • Feel free to customize the seasoning with garlic powder or chili flakes for extra zest.
  • Serve immediately as the zucchini crisps tend to soften if left standing.
