Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Wash the yellow squash and cut them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large bowl, toss the squash slices with olive oil until evenly coated.
In another bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each squash round into the Parmesan mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Gently press the mixture onto the squash to help it adhere.
Arrange the coated squash slices in a single layer in the air fryer's basket, ensuring they do not overlap. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Air fry the squash at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
Remove the squash from the air fryer and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly air-fried squash as a snack or side dish!
