What comes out looks like a bowl of mini \u201cchips\u201d with emerald-green edges\u2014impossible to resist snacking on. For a change, try making sweet potato fries in the same appliance.\n\n\n\nLooking for a main course? Try making air fryer salmon.\n\n\n\nSince an air fryer only needs a teaspoon or two of oil, it uses much less and keeps the calories in check. But its biggest advantage is consistency: follow the cooking chart and a few simple tips, and every slice will come out just right.\n\n\n\nIngredients for air fryer zucchini\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZucchini. Pick medium-sized, firm ones\u2014the kind that \u201csqueak\u201d when you rub two together. With about 95% water, freshness is the difference between a crisp chip and a limp stick. Extra-large zucchini, packed with seeds, hold more moisture and can ruin the crunch.\n\n\n\nOlive oil. A super-light coating acts like a caramelizing glaze. Too much oil will steam the veggie; too little leaves it pale. One teaspoon per zucchini (or a quick spray) is the sweet spot.\n\n\n\nCraving something extra crispy? Try air fryer breaded eggplant.\n\n\n\nCoarse salt. Its big crystals spread evenly and draw out just enough moisture to concentrate the flavor without making the flesh wilt.\n\n\n\nFreshly ground black pepper. Crushed right before cooking, it adds a gentle heat that tingles the nose. Stick with the classic, or swap in lemon pepper, garlic powder, or some red pepper flakes for a twist.\n\n\n\nFor dessert, try air fryer egg custard.\n\n\n\nTips for perfect air fryer zucchini\n\n\n\nSoggy slices? Check the thickness, spacing, and how much oil you used. If they\u2019re too thick, crowded, or oily, you\u2019ll lose the crunch.\n\n\n\nToo salty or a bit dry? Season after cooking, or cut back on the time you let them rest with salt.\n\n\n\nUneven browning? Every air fryer heats a little differently\u2014add a minute at a time until the color deepens. A squeeze of lemon will brighten up any batch that tastes a little flat.\n\n\n\n\n\n\tAir Fryer Zucchini\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\tair fryer\t\n\t\n\t\t2 large zucchini (sliced into rounds)1 tablespoon olive oil0.5 teaspoon salt0.5 teaspoon black pepper\t\n\t\n\t\tIn a large bowl, combine the zucchini with the olive oil, salt, and pepper; toss to coat.Transfer to the air fryer basket and cook at 200\u00b0C for 10 minutes, shaking the basket every 3 minutes.Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.\t\n\t\n\t\t\nStorage: Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.\nFreezing: Place leftovers in a shallow container and freeze for up to 2 months.\nReheating: If thawed or refrigerated, return to the air fryer basket and reheat at 200\u00b0C for 4 minutes, turning halfway through.\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\tAccompagnement, Entr\u00e9eFran\u00e7aise","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110391"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110391\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":110608,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110391\/revisions\/110608"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
