Description

Do you have an air fryer? If not, what are you waiting for? They're so much fun to use and can help you create some delicious dishes. Today, we're going to show you how to make air fryer squash and zucchini. This is a great side dish that's perfect for summertime cooking. Let's get started!

Ingredients 

  • 2 zucchini
  • 2 summer squash
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon parsley flakes

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your air fryer to 400 degrees F, for 3 to 5 minutes. Slice your zucchini and summer squash, with a sharp knife, and discard the ends.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together the sliced zucchini, summer squash, oil, and seasonings, and mix well, to coat the squash.
  • Add your squash to the air fryer basket, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket frequently as it cooks up. Add some fresh seasonings, right before serving.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper

Notes

Notes: Storing Cooked Zucchini
  • Refrigeration: Store cooked zucchini in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Ensure the zucchini has cooled to room temperature before refrigerating to prevent excess moisture buildup.
  • Freezing: While it's best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze cooked zucchini for longer storage. Place cooled zucchini pieces on a parchment-lined baking tray in a single layer. Freeze until solid, then transfer to a zip-top freezer bag, squeezing as much air as possible. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Be mindful that the texture might be a bit softer once thawed.
  • Reheating: To reheat, microwave for a minute or two or warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated. If frozen, you can reheat directly from the freezer, but it may require more time.
  • Usage: Cooked zucchini can be easily added to stews, casseroles, and stir-fries or enjoyed as a side dish. If the texture has softened considerably during storage, consider blending into soups or sauces.
