Why make zucchini in the air fryer?

These days, I love making zucchini in the air fryer even more than the oven! There are so many benefits.

First, no preheating required. Second, it cooks quicker than the oven. Third, it gets perfectly roasted.

Ingredients

This air fryer zucchini recipe is so easy to make! It's seasoned with zaatar seasoning, which is a mixture of other spices all put together!

  • Zucchini
  • Olive oil
  • Zaatar seasoning

What is zaatar seasoning?

Zaatar seasoning is a Middle Eastern spice blend that is so tasty! It varies what it's made of, but it's usually dried thyme, dried oregano, sumac, marjoram, toasted sesame seeds, and salt.

It's delicious and flavorful. It's the perfect seasoning to add to vegetables before roasting!

Where can you find zaatar seasoning?

You can find zaatar seasoning at most grocery stores, just look in the spice section! If you can't find it at your regular grocery store, try a store specializing in Middle Eastern ingredients, or get it on Amazon here!

We've also found it at our Trader Joe's store!

How to make the air fryer za'atar zucchini

The first step is to cut your zucchini into cubes. Try for cubes about ½ an inch. If you wind up doing larger cubes, it's fine. It just may take a little longer to cook in your air fryer.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon zaatar seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Cut the ends off the zucchini, then dice into ½ inch cubes.
  • Place the zucchini in a bowl, then toss with the olive oil and zaatar spice.
  • Place in the air fryer, and spread out. Cook for 9-10 minutes at 400 degrees F, shaking halfway through. Check frequently for doneness!
  • Remove and serve.

Notes

  • Every air fryer cooks differently. And air fryers may take longer depending on size and if you're cooking a larger amount. Always test for doneness. Your air fryer may take shorter or longer, depending on how much zucchini you're cooking and how large your air fryer is.
  • If you've cut your zucchini into larger pieces, they may take longer to cook. Start testing for doneness around 8-9 minutes, but cook longer if needed until done.
