Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Slice squash and zucchini into even half-moons, about 1/2 inch thick.
- 2
Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- 3
Spread in a single layer. Sprinkle Parmesan on top. Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking once, until edges are golden.
- 4
Finish with fresh herbs, extra Parmesan, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Tip: Don't overcrowd — squash releases moisture, and crowding means steaming instead of roasting. A single layer with space between pieces gives the best caramelization.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 12 minutes vs ~19 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🌡️Concentrated heat circulation produces even browning and a crispier crust than a full-size oven.
- 🔥Rapid air circulation delivers oven-quality results in a fraction of the time.
