Instructions Taste Air Fryer Hasselback Zucchini

  • After washing, pat the zucchini dry.
  • Making sure not to cut all the way through, carefully cut thin, parallel slices down the length of the zucchini, approximately ⅔ of the way through. The zucchini should be able to spread out between the slices while maintaining their structural integrity at the base.
  • Make sure some of the olive oil goes in between the slices as you brush each zucchini.
  • Add paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Additionally, try to distribute the spice across the slices.
  • Load the pieces gently with grated Parmesan cheese. You may change the quantity of cheese to suit your tastes.
  • Start the air fryer at 375°F, or 190°C. This guarantees consistent cooking and facilitates a speedy start to the cooking process.
  • Arrange the seasoned zucchinis in a single layer into the air fryer basket.
    Simmer for ten to fifteen minutes, or until the cheese is crispy and golden and the zucchini is soft.
  • After cooking, you may add more Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, as garnish.
  • Serve hot as a nutritious snack or as a side dish.

Notes:

  1. Vary the cooking time according to the desired level of tenderness and the size of the zucchini.
  2. Before serving, think about adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkling of chile flakes for some more taste.
  3. If the zucchini begins to brown too soon, cover it with a piece of foil.
