Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Summer squash
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the squash thoroughly and cut off the ends. Slice the squash into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Add the squash slices to the bowl and toss them until they are well coated with the olive oil and spice mixture.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
Place the squash slices in a single layer in the air fryer's basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Air fry the squash for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The squash should be tender and slightly golden brown.
Carefully remove the squash from the air fryer and transfer it to a serving dish.
Garnish with a sprinkle of extra herbs if desired and serve immediately as a healthy side dish.
