Notes
Meal Prep and Storage
- To Prep-Ahead: You can easily mix up your seasoning blend before cooking. You can also slice up your zucchini a couple of hours before air frying if necessary.
- To Store: If you have leftover zucchini, place it in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
- To Freeze: Freezing is not recommended as the texture will become mushy and soggy after thawing.
- To Reheat: Simply pop leftovers back into the air fryer for a couple of minutes to warm back up.
