Air Fryer Zucchini | crispy zucchini fast!

If you're looking for a new way to cook zucchini, this air fryer zucchini is for you. This crispy, gluten-free side dish cooks in just 15 minutes and it couldn't be easier to make. To get started, preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. You'll need one large zucchini for this recipe or two smaller ones, about 12 ounces in total. Slice the zucchini into thin circles, about an eighth of an inch thick. The thinner you slice the zucchini, the crispier they will be later, but the thinner slices also mean you'll have more pieces to cook, so you may need to work in batches if you don't have a large enough air fryer. Transfer the sliced zucchini to a large bowl and toss it with one tablespoon of olive oil. In a separate bowl, add in a quarter cup of chickpea flour or you can use all-purpose flour if you don't need a gluten-free recipe. You'll also add in a half teaspoon of salt, a half teaspoon of garlic powder, and a quarter teaspoon of ground black pepper. Mix it all together, then dip each zucchini slice into the mixture, coating both sides. Shake off any excess, then place the coated zucchini slice into your air fryer basket. Repeat the process with the remaining zucchini slices, arranging them into a single layer. Once the air fryer basket is full without any overlapping slices, cook them for 10 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. When the timer goes off, the zucchini could be ready to serve right away depending on how thinly you slice them and the model of your air fryer, or you might need to cook them for another two to five minutes. In that case, flip the zucchini slices over to promote even browning and cook until they are evenly golden. When I use my oven-style air fryer, it's done in about 15 minutes, and when I use my basket-style air fryer, it cooks a little faster, so be sure to watch your zucchini after the 10-minute mark. If you have more zucchini to cook, you can repeat the process, cooking another layer. When all of the zucchini is golden, you can add all of the pieces back into your air fryer, and you don't have to worry about it overlapping this time, and cook for two more minutes just to make sure everything is heated through. Serve this air fryer zucchini warm right away for the best flavor and texture. It's delicious on its own as a side dish, or you can serve it with your favorite dip as an appetizer.
