Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Yellow squash
- as needed Olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
While the air fryer is preheating, wash and dry the squash. Cut the squash into 1/4-inch thick slices.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Place the squash slices in a large bowl and lightly spray them with olive oil spray. Toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the squash slices and toss until all slices are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Arrange the squash slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Air fry the squash for 15 to 18 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness.
If desired, sprinkle the air-fried squash with Parmesan cheese immediately after cooking for added flavor. Serve warm.
