Recipe Information:
Makes 2 servings
Preparation time: 3 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
1 zucchini squash, sliced into coins
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded or grated
Recipe:
Slice zucchini into thin coins.
On the cutting board or in a small bowl, coat zucchini slices in olive oil. Ensure that all slices are equally coated! (Optional: coat in your favorite seasonings, if desired. The parmesan adds enough flavor for me, though!)
Arrange prepared zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer. Air fry zucchini coins at 380 degrees F for 6-8 minutes, or until they begin to brown and crisp.
Pause the air fryer and remove the basket. Evenly distribute parmesan cheese on top of all zucchini slices. Push basket back in and resume cooking.
Continue air frying parmesan zucchini coins at 380 degrees F for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until parmesan cheese has become golden in color and crisped in texture. Enjoy!
