Ingredients
- 2 large zucchini
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) salt or less if desired
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) to 1/2 cup (120 ml) grated cheese
Instructions
- Rinse the zucchini, dry them with a towel, and cut into ½-inch thick rounds. Avoid slicing too thin or too thick to ensure proper cooking and cheese browning.
- Combine the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Set the air fryer to preheat at 400°F for 11 minutes. Once preheated, arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer, topping each with grated cheese. Aim to cover the slices fully with cheese.
- Cook until the surfaces are a golden brown color, typically 9 to 11 minutes. Serve immediately while hot!
Notes
- Ensure the zucchini slices are thoroughly coated with olive oil and seasonings to avoid any bland areas.
- Use a combination of cheeses such as mozzarella, parmesan, and cheddar to enhance the flavor profile.
- Monitor the zucchini closely during cooking to prevent burning, as air fryer temperatures can vary.
