This crispy and cheesy air fried parmesan zucchini is the perfect easy side dish. It's healthy, low carb, keto, gluten-free, and made in your air fryer in under 15 minutes. No breadcrumbs are needed!

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini (cut into mini half-moon crescents or bite sized pieces (about ¾ inch thick))
  • 1 tsp olive oil or olive oil spray
  • ¾ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ - ¾ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 3 - 4 tbsp grated parmesan cheese (fresh is best)
  • A squeeze of fresh lemon juice (optional) (for serving)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your air fryer to 390°F.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine zucchini, olive oil or spray, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese. Mix until zucchini is fully coated.

  3. 3

    IMPORTANT: Carefully line the bottom of your air fryer with parchment paper, so the cheese doesn’t fall off into the basket or get stuck on the grate.

  4. 4

    Add seasoned zucchini and air fry for 8 - 12 minutes, shaking zucchini every 3 minutes or so. The zucchini should be tender and slightly crisp; the cheese should be golden.

  5. 5

    Enjoy warm, and serve with a squeeze of lemon juice if desired!
