Air fryer lemon zucchini roasts up perfectly. This is an easy recipe that makes a light and bright side dish in less than 20 minutes.

Roasted zucchini with lemon slices.

I love making fresh, healthy food in my air fryer. The air fryer is just so perfect for roasting up vegetables.

And when it's spring and summer? I love grabbing zucchini and roasting it up. And this is a Greek-inspired air fryer zucchini.

It's got the flavors of lemon and oregano for a pop of brightness and freshness. A favorite of mine in those spring and summer months.

Ingredients

  • Zucchini
  • Olive oil
  • Lemon
  • Oregano
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Customizations and substitutions

Want your zucchini a little spicier? Add some red pepper flakes.

Not a fan of oregano? Use a different dried herb. You can use herbs de provence, Italian seasoning, thyme, etc.

Want to make this dish a little fancier? Add some crumbled feta and fresh herbs to the finished zucchini.

You can also use yellow squash instead of zucchini if that's what you have/like.

What to serve with the zucchini

I love this air fryer lemon zucchini with some air fryer panko chicken, air fryer peri peri chicken thighs, or air fryer honey dijon salmon.

This zucchini also pairs well with some peri peri rice, ras el hanout chicken thighs, or air fryer smashed potatoes.

Recipe notes

  • Cook time may depend on how much you want your zucchini done and your particular air fryer. Want it roasted a little more? Let the zucchini cook for an extra minute or two.
  • Cook time may also depend on how you big you cut the zucchini.
  • This recipe also works well with yellow squash.
