Without the right seasonings, it can taste bland and lifeless. And without the right cooking method, it can become soggy. Making fried or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/baked-zucchini\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/baked-zucchini\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">roasted zucchini<\/a> is a great way to bring out the veggie&#8217;s crisp texture, but these recipes tend to heat up the house in the summertime. Luckily, air-fryer zucchini tastes just as good! The bite-sized pieces of zucchini stay soft on the inside and crisp up beautifully on the outside. Plus, the air fryer&#8217;s compact size makes clean-up a breeze.<\/p>\n<p>Seasoning is essential when it comes to zucchini. It has a mild taste on its own, and its flavor really blossoms when it&#8217;s tossed with a combination of herbs and spices. We use Italian seasoning, salt and garlic powder to give the zucchini an herbaceous, savory flavor, but feel free to change it up and experiment. Try making this dish a little spicier by adding cayenne pepper or chili powder, or give it a smoky finish with ground cumin and coriander.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Air-Fryer Zucchini<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2029492\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Air-Fryer-Zucchini_TOHcom24_277199_MD_P2_07_25_1b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Air Fryer Zucchini Tohcom24 277199 Md P2 07 25 1b\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Zucchini:<\/strong> Look for small- to medium-sized zucchini with a firm texture and a dark green exterior.

The zucchini will become a little soggy in the fridge, but it will last up to four days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make air-fryer zucchini ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>You can slice the zucchini ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. However, we don&#8217;t recommend air-frying zucchini ahead of time. It has the best texture when it&#8217;s freshly cooked.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat air-fryer zucchini?<\/h3>\n<p>To reheat zucchini, air-fry it in a 400\u00b0 air fryer until it&#8217;s warm. Shake the air-fryer basket every few minutes to ensure even heating.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze air-fryer zucchini?<\/h3>\n<p>We don&#8217;t recommend freezing zucchini, as the watery vegetable becomes mushy when thawed. That said, if you must freeze them, you can transfer the leftovers to a freezer-safe container. Freeze zucchini for up to three months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.<\/p>\n<h2>Air-Fryer Zucchini Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2029499 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Air-Fryer-Zucchini_TOHcom24_277199_MD_P2_07_25_8b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Air Fryer Zucchini \" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you make this air-fryer zucchini recipe with summer squash?<\/h3>\n<p>You can make air-fryer zucchini with other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-summer-squash\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-summer-squash\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">types of summer squash<\/a> like yellow crookneck squash, pattypan squash or Tatuma (aka white Mexican squash). Using a mixture of zucchini and other summer squash is a great way to create a colorful medley. Just make sure to cut the squash into equal-sized pieces that will cook evenly in the air fryer.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is air-fryer zucchini soggy instead of crispy?<\/h3>\n<p>Zucchini has a high water content (it&#8217;s 95% water!), so it can become soggy for several reasons. Air-fryer zucchini will taste soggy if cooked until completely soft, so avoid overcooking this tender veggie. Check on the zucchini as it cooks, and remove it from the air fryer when it&#8217;s crisp-tender. The zucchini also won&#8217;t become crispy if it&#8217;s crowded in the air-fryer basket. Zucchini releases water as it cooks, and crowding will cause the pieces to steam, preventing caramelization and crisping.<\/p>\n<h3>What should you serve with air-fryer zucchini?<\/h3>\n<p>We often serve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/5-star-zucchini-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/5-star-zucchini-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">zucchini recipes<\/a> as side dishes for meaty mains like grilled steak, roasted chicken or braised short ribs.
