📝 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. 1Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it warm up while you prep the vegetables.
2. 2Slice the zucchini and squash into ¼-inch thick slices and discard the ends.
3. 3season: 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. 4Spread 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. 5Cook 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.
