Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized Yellow squash
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the yellow squash thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Cut off the ends and slice the squash into thin, even rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make a marinade.

Step 4

Add the sliced squash to the bowl and toss everything together until the squash pieces are evenly coated in the marinade.

Step 5

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Once the air fryer is preheated, arrange the squash slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 7

Air fry the squash for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the slices are golden brown and crispy to your liking.

Step 8

While the squash is cooking, finely chop the fresh parsley.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the squash from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately as a side dish or snack.
