Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Start by washing the yellow squash thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut off the ends and slice the squash into thin, even rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make a marinade.
Add the sliced squash to the bowl and toss everything together until the squash pieces are evenly coated in the marinade.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-4 minutes.
Once the air fryer is preheated, arrange the squash slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Air fry the squash for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the slices are golden brown and crispy to your liking.
While the squash is cooking, finely chop the fresh parsley.
Once cooked, remove the squash from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately as a side dish or snack.
