- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Wash the squash thoroughly and cut off the ends. Slice the squash into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Step 3
Add the squash slices to the bowl and toss them until they are well coated with the olive oil and spice mixture.
Step 4
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Place the squash slices in a single layer in the air fryer's basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 6
Air fry the squash for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The squash should be tender and slightly golden brown.
Step 7
Carefully remove the squash from the air fryer and transfer it to a serving dish.
Step 8
Garnish with a sprinkle of extra herbs if desired and serve immediately as a healthy side dish.
