Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

While the air fryer is preheating, wash and dry the squash. Cut the squash into 1/4-inch thick slices.

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Place the squash slices in a large bowl and lightly spray them with olive oil spray. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 5
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the squash slices and toss until all slices are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 6
Arrange the squash slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 7
Air fry the squash for 15 to 18 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness.
Step 8
If desired, sprinkle the air-fried squash with Parmesan cheese immediately after cooking for added flavor. Serve warm.
