These were so tasty and crispy! And I finally got my kids to try zucchini!
Perfect way to cook zucchini. Absolutely loved that you chose to cook it in the air fryer. It tasted like it was cooked on the grill with crispy edges.
Had lots of garden zucchini and came across your recipe. I cut them into thick coins, cooked them a little longer cause i like them crispier. Added some bbq sauce on top and it was perfect. Thanks guys.
Garden zucchini sounds perfect and looks like you have lots of air frying in your future. 🙂
These are delicious. Can you cook ahead of time and keep them warm?
Hi Nancy! So glad you enjoyed the zucchini. If you cook it ahead of time, it might get mushy and more soft as it sits. But if you re-heat in the air fryer, it should get a little closer to it’s original texture when you cooked it the first time.
Wow – I didn’t think such a simple recipe could be that good! I’ll be buying a lot more zucchini from now on to cook this way. I did the coins and used olive oil to coat the zucchini.
So glad you loved it. Simple & tasty is the always great!
