Crispy Zucchini Recipes – Light & Healthy Fried Zucchini Bites
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 medium zucchini, cut into ¼-inch thick slices (about 4 cups)
- 1¾ cups finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- A small pinch of cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Begin by heating your air fryer to 400°F. Lightly coat the basket with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the zucchini slices in a large bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss well so each piece is evenly coated. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne, and salt. Stir until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the cheese.
- Take each zucchini slice and press it into the Parmesan mixture, turning it to coat both sides thoroughly. Make sure the surface is well covered. Transfer the coated slices to a plate as you finish each one.
- Arrange the prepared zucchini in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping; cook in batches if necessary depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray. Air fry for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the coating turns crisp and golden brown.
- Carefully lift the zucchini out using a spatula or fork.
- Serve right away while hot and crispy for the best texture and flavor.
