Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. This gets it nice and hot for crispy results!
While it preheats, wash and thoroughly dry your zucchini. Slice them into semi-thick rounds, then cut each round into half moons. A good dry is key for crispiness!
Place the dry zucchini half moons into a mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the zucchini, then sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic salt, and black pepper. Toss everything gently until the zucchini pieces are evenly coated.
Now, add the Parmesan cheese and toss again, ensuring every zucchini piece gets a lovely cheesy coating.
Carefully arrange the seasoned zucchini in a single layer in your air fryer basket, making sure no pieces overlap. This allows for even cooking and maximum crispiness.
Air fry for 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C), or until they are tender-crisp and beautifully golden. Serve immediately as a delicious side or snack!
Any delicious leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days.
