- The zucchini and squash are done when they're golden brown and lightly crisp on the outside. Serve hot. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you place the squash in a single layer in the air fryer, it will cook faster and more evenly.
- If you find that your zucchini and squash are sticking to the air fryer basket, lightly spray them with oil before cooking. This should help ensure they don't stick.
- Summer squash has a water content that can make air-fried vegetables soggy. To help reduce the water content, use a paper towel to pat dry the chopped squash before adding the oil and seasonings.
- Sprinkle a few red pepper flakes if you prefer a little heat in your side dish.
