Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and dry the squash thoroughly and then cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the sliced squash to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mixture until all pieces are evenly coated.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
Arrange the squash slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches.
Air fry the squash for about 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and tender.
While the squash is still hot, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top so it melts slightly.
Transfer the squash to a serving plate and garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.
