Ingredients
- 2 medium yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Wash the yellow squash and cut them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the squash slices with olive oil until evenly coated.
Step 4
In another bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Dip each squash round into the Parmesan mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Gently press the mixture onto the squash to help it adhere.
Step 6
Arrange the coated squash slices in a single layer in the air fryer's basket, ensuring they do not overlap. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 7
Air fry the squash at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
Step 8
Remove the squash from the air fryer and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly air-fried squash as a snack or side dish!
