Ingredients

4 cups cubed zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini)
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Cut zucchini in half lengthwise. Then, cut each half in half again lengthwise. Cube zucchini by cutting widthwise into 1-inch thick pieces.
Add zucchini, olive oil, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl. Toss to evenly coat.
Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F.
Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Place zucchini in a single layer on the bottom. You might need to cook in batches to ensure the zucchini cooks properly.
Air fry at 400 degrees F for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and slightly browned.
Sprinkle parmesan cheese over top and stir to coat. Serve warm.

Notes

Serve immediately to prevent the zucchini from becoming soggy.
Experiment and add any of your favorite seasonings.
Omit the parmesan cheese to make this recipe dairy free.
Air fryers come in many shapes, brands, and sizes. You may want to test cooking a few pieces of zucchini, before cooking the whole batch, to determine the proper amount of cooking time for your air fryer.
