Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 medium yellow squash
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it warm up while you prep the vegetables.
- Slice the zucchini and squash into ¼-inch thick slices and discard the ends.
- Place the slices in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the oil, then sprinkle over the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together with your hands or a spatula until the squash is evenly coated.
- Spread the squash slices in your air fryer basket. A little overlap is fine, but don’t overcrowd the basket or they’ll steam instead of crisp.
- Cook at 400°F for 5 minutes. At the halfway mark (around 2–3 minutes), give the basket a good shake to make sure everything cooks evenly. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- You can reheat in the air fryer or microwave.
