Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Total Time: 15 minutes Servings: 2–3

Ingredients

2 medium zucchini, sliced into ½-inch thick rounds 2 tbsp melted butter 2 cloves garlic, minced ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp black pepper 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Slice the zucchini into ½-inch thick rounds and pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture helps the edges brown instead of steaming.

2. In a bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

3. Add the zucchini rounds and toss gently until every piece is evenly coated with the garlic butter mixture.

4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

5. Arrange the zucchini in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between the pieces. Avoid overcrowding.

6. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through. Cook until the zucchini is tender and the edges are golden and lightly crisp.

7. Remove from the air fryer and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan and fresh parsley while hot.

8. Serve warm with ranch, marinara, or your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.

Ingredient Spotlight

Zucchini is a versatile lower-carb vegetable that provides fiber and micronutrients.

Parmesan adds savory flavor and a delicious salty finish while providing protein and calcium.

Garlic brings plenty of bold flavor without needing a heavy sauce.

Easy Swaps

Use olive oil instead of butter for a lighter Mediterranean-style flavor.

Swap Parmesan for shredded mozzarella or Pecorino Romano.

Add Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.

For extra crunch, add 1 tbsp of breadcrumbs or a low-carb breadcrumb alternative.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F for 3–5 minutes to bring back some of the crispiness. Avoid microwaving if you want crispy edges.

Serving Ideas

Serve alongside grilled chicken, steak, or salmon.

Pair with ranch or marinara for an easy appetizer or snack.

Top with extra Parmesan and parsley for an even more flavorful side dish.
