Ingredients
- Yellow squash
- 2 medium, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Paprika
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced yellow squash with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the squash is evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Arrange the seasoned squash slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even cooking.
- Cook the squash in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even browning. The squash should be tender and golden brown when done.
- Remove from the air fryer and serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme if desired.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling some grated Parmesan cheese over the squash before serving.
- You can also experiment with other spices, such as cayenne pepper for heat or Italian seasoning for a different flavor profile.
- If you have zucchini on hand, feel free to substitute it for half of the yellow squash or mix both for a colorful dish.
