How To Make Air Fryer Zucchini Casserole

Step One: Start by cutting your zucchini into small pieces. Chopper the zucchini until you have 3 cups (I used three small). Then, chop the onion.

Step Two: Add your spices (salt, pepper, parsley, and oregano). Mix it all. Mix in the eggs. Add the vegetable oil. Mix in the baking mix. Mix in the cheese, and mix everything.

Step Three: Spoon the mixture into a greased, air fryer safe pan. Set your temperature to 320 degrees F, air fryer setting. Set cook time for 15 minutes.

Step Four: After 15 minutes, look at your casserole. Does it look cooked? Mine did, so I removed it. If you need more time, add some. Otherwise, remove and let cool slightly.

Air Fryer Zucchini Casserole Recipe Tips

• Preheat your air fryer: To ensure an even cook, preheat your air fryer to 320°F before placing the casserole in.
• Cut zucchini evenly: Chop the zucchini into small, even pieces so they cook uniformly.
• Don’t overfill the pan: Make sure to leave some space around the casserole for air circulation for a crispier finish.
• Use a non-stick pan: For easy removal, use a non-stick, air fryer-safe pan.
• Check for doneness: After 15 minutes, check if the casserole is golden and cooked through. If not, add a few extra minutes to ensure it’s fully cooked.

Air Fryer Zucchini Casserole Recipe Faqs

Can I use frozen zucchini for this recipe? It’s best to use fresh zucchini for this casserole to achieve the right texture. Frozen zucchini tends to release more water, which may affect the casserole’s consistency.

Can I substitute the eggs in this recipe? Yes! You can replace the eggs with a flaxseed meal or chia seed egg substitute, which works well for binding the ingredients together.

Can I make this casserole ahead of time? Absolutely! You can prepare the casserole and store it in the fridge before cooking. Just cover it and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, then cook when ready.

Can I add other vegetables to this casserole? Yes! Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for extra flavor and texture. Just be sure to chop them finely to avoid altering the casserole’s balance.

How do I store leftovers? Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, simply pop it back into the air fryer for a few minutes until heated through.

Can I make this casserole without cheese? Yes! You can omit the cheese or use a dairy-free alternative to make it suitable for various dietary preferences.
