Air Fryer, Cheesy Baked Zucchini Casserole

It is officially zucchini season, and I love zucchini. Zucchini is a great versatile vegetable that you can do almost anything to, and it usually tastes amazing. If you haven’t tried air-fried or grilled zucchini, you are so missing out.

Technically zucchini is a squash, it has origins all over the world, and likewise, zucchini is cooked differently in all parts of the world, from the Italian who serve it deep-fried, deep flower fritters to Turkey, where they make zucchini pancakes. It can be added to any recipe for a healthier spin on it.

When you are purchasing zucchini, here are some things to be on the lookout for:

• Zucchini should be about 6 inches long, one-two inches wide.
• Firm and shiny skin without blemishes
• Ideally, the steam should be attached.

To store zucchini:

Keep in the refrigerator for about 4-5 days, longer than that the zucchini will start to wilt.  Zucchini also can be frozen, in order to freeze, slice, then boil for about 2 minutes, then plunge into cold water. Then seal in an airtight container. Frozen zucchini can be kept for about one year.

This is a recipe that my mother made when we were children, it was truly the only way, I would eat zucchini, I love it, it’s a wonderful childhood memory, that I was able to pass down to my own children. I hope you and yours enjoy it, as much as I did.
