These quick appetisers may be prepared in the air fryer (or oven) in a matter of minutes using basic ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized squash (e.g., zucchini or yellow squash)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash and slice the squash into even rounds, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Add the sliced squash to the bowl and toss to coat the squash evenly with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
- Place the squash slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
- Cook the squash in the air fryer for about 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and lightly browned.
- Remove the squash from the air fryer, and serve hot. Optionally, you can garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for added flavor.
