Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for 4-5 minutes. Meanwhile, wash and slice the zucchini thinly, either in half-moons or coins.

Notes
Flip halfway: To promote even airflow and consistent cooking, remember to flip your zucchini slices at the halfway point.
Don't use too much oil: The best part about air fryers is that you can reduce the amount of oil you need to cook with. Go easy at first, and increase it gradually.
Serve immediately: Cooked zucchini tastes the best when it's warm, crispy, and tender! Don't start air frying it until you're just about ready to serve.
You may need to work in batches, depending on how big your air fryer is and how much zucchini you're making.
