Ingredients
- 2 medium yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the squash thoroughly and then cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Add the sliced squash to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mixture until all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 4
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Arrange the squash slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches.
Step 6
Air fry the squash for about 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and tender.
Step 7
While the squash is still hot, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top so it melts slightly.
Step 8
Transfer the squash to a serving plate and garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.
