Air Fryer Courgette

Ingredients

3 small/medium courgettes
1 ½ tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
2 tbsp finely grated Parmesan cheese (for vegetarian, use nutritional yeast)
1 tablespoon flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Method

  1. Finely chop the courgettes.
  2. Drizzle the oil over the courgettes and toss to coat evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the panko, Parmesan, flour, salt, onion powder, and pepper. Sprinkle this mixture over the courgettes, tossing to ensure they are coated as evenly as possible.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Place half of the courgettes in the air fryer basket in a single layer (no need to spray with nonstick cooking spray).
  5. Air fry the courgettes for 15 - 20 minutes, shaking the basket a few times during cooking, until the breadcrumbs are golden and the courgettes are tender but not mushy. Transfer them to a serving plate or a parchment-lined baking sheet to keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining courgettes.
