Ingredients

1 kg (2lb) zucchini
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper

For serving (optional)

whipped feta
fresh basil leaves
sliced red chilli pepper

Instructions

Slice the zucchini into half, lengthwise, then score each slice of zucchini with the tip of your knife in a diamond pattern. Pat the zucchini dry with paper towels to get rid of any excess moisture.
Drizzle over the olive oil then season generously with salt and black pepper.
Place the zucchini slices, cut side up, in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Air fry the zucchini for 15 minutes at 200°C/400°F until golden brown and fork tender.
Remove from the air fryer then finish with a squeeze of lemon juice then serve.
Optional: Spread the whipped feta onto a serving platter then add the air fried zucchini. Drizzle with olive oil (I used chilli oil) and scatter over fresh basil leaves and thinly sliced chilli. Serve with lemon wedges.
