Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchini sliced into thick rounds
  • 1 medium butternut squash peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Grated parmesan fresh herbs (like thyme or rosemary)
  • Substitutions: If you don’t have olive oil you can use avocado oil or melted coconut oil. For spices, feel free to swap out garlic and onion powder for your favourites, like paprika or cayenne for a little kick!

Method
 

  1. Prep the Squash: Start by washing your zucchini and butternut squash. Cut the zucchini into thick rounds (about ½ inch). For the butternut, peel, seed, and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Toss with Oil and Spices: In a large bowl, add the squash. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and give it about 3-5 minutes to preheat.
  4. Cook: Place the squash in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches depending on your air fryer size. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking halfway through for even cooking.
  5. Check for Doneness: When they’re golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they’re ready to eat! You can sprinkle with grated parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Make sure to cut your squash evenly for consistent cooking. Also, don’t overcrowd the air fryer; leaving enough space is key to achieving a crispy texture.
