Pumpkin Recipes in the Fryer
Here are five distinct ways to prepare courgette using an air fryer.
Slice the zucchini into thin rounds, drizzle with olive oil, and season with your favorite spices such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, or paprika. Arrange the slices in a single layer in the air fryer and cook at 180ºC for 10 to 15 minutes, until they become crisp and lightly browned.
Cut the zucchini into sticks, dip them in beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. Air fry at 200ºC for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the coating is golden and the centers are tender.
Create thick zucchini rounds, toss with a touch of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake in the air fryer at 200ºC for about 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are crisp and the centers are soft.
Halve the zucchini lengthwise and scoop out a shallow hollow. Stuff with a preferred filling—cheese, tomato, and herbs; or a mix of ground meat and onion—and cook in the air fryer at 180ºC for 15 to 20 minutes, until the filling is heated through and the zucchini is tender.
Cut zucchini into thin slices, dip in a batter made from flour, salt, and cold water to form a paste. Air fry at 200ºC for 10 to 12 minutes, until the slices are crisp and golden. Serve with soy sauce on the side for dipping.
It’s important to remember that cooking times can vary by fryer model and batch size. They’re approximate, so a quick check midway helps prevent overcooking and ensures the best texture every time.
