Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 medium yellow squash
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it warm up while you prep the vegetables.

  2. 2

    Slice the zucchini and squash into ¼-inch thick slices and discard the ends.

  3. 3

    season: Place the slices in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the oil, then sprinkle over the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together with your hands or a spatula until the squash is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Spread the squash slices in your air fryer basket. A little overlap is fine, but don’t overcrowd the basket or they’ll steam instead of crisp.

  5. 5

    Cook at 400°F for 5 minutes. At the halfway mark (around 2–3 minutes), give the basket a good shake to make sure everything cooks evenly. Serve immediately.
