Ingredients
- 4 courgettes moyennes
- 2 cuillères à soupe huile d’olive
- 50 g parmesan frais, râpé
- 1 cuillère à café sel
- 1/2 cuillère à café poivre noir
Instructions
- Clean the zucchini under cold water. Place them on a cutting board and slice thinly into 3mm thick pieces, ensuring not to cut all the way through at the base to keep the slices attached.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Gently toss to coat each slice without breaking them apart.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan evenly over the top of the zucchini, ensuring it gets into the slices for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the Air Fryer to 190°C (375°F) for about 5 minutes.
- Arrange the seasoned zucchini in the Air Fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap. Cook for 15 to 18 minutes, checking for doneness; they should be crispy on the edges and tender throughout.
- Allow the zucchini to rest for 5 minutes before serving. This resting time enhances their texture and flavor.
- Enjoy hot as a side dish or on their own.
