Can you air fry zucchini?

Yes! I think it is the easiest way to roast zucchini. I like to cut mine into evenly sized chunks, but small rounds will also work. Air fry at 400 degrees for 12 minutes. The zucchini will be golden brown and delicious.

How long do you cook zucchini in the air fryer?

I cook 4 cups of evenly sized chunks of zucchini squash at 400 degrees for 12 minutes for a nice golden brown roasted veggie.

What is summer squash?

Summer squash are grown during the warm summer months. Their skin is tender and does not need to be peeled. The most common summer squash are zucchini, yellow crookneck squash and pattypan. Depending on your region you will start to see summer squash at your farmer's market or local grocery starting in summer months.

Zucchini squash is a great vegetable choice if you are on a low carb or keto diet. One cup of sliced zucchini has about 2.5 grams of net carbs.

Do I need to peel zucchini squash?

No! One of the great things about zucchini squash is that the skin is soft and does not need to be peeled. It's an added benefit that the skin is full of vitamin C, other vitamins and minerals and fiber.
