We love making kebabs on our flat top grill. We marinade all the meats and the veggies, slap it all on the grill, and serve ’em up by the plate full. We like this because it is so easy to feed our large family during gatherings.

Well, the air fryer can take the place of the flat grill when it is cold outside, for a smaller group, or for a single ingredient from those kebobs.

The zucchini is a family favorite when we make kebabs, so we decided to put just those in the air fryer. Oh man…so good and so easy!

Not only is this a healthy, low carb zucchini recipe, it’s also super quick and so easy! You can’t go wrong with just 2 ingredients!

Air fryers have come a long way in the last few years and there are a ton of options out there. It can be a little overwhelming. Since everything we publish is cooked in an air fryer, we get asked often what we recommend. The answer is, we reccomend you buy one that has features you want. They will all cook the food perfectly fine!

For example, we want to use a dishwasher to clean the basket and we want it to be large enough to feed a family of four. We frequently use our 6qt OMORC air fryer for this reason.

Another helpful tip is to not use canned non-stick oil in your air fryer, it will damage your air fryer basket over time. Instead , you can brush the oil on the basket or you can put your oil in a pump spray mister to apply to your basket.

Last, if you are interested in reusable freezer bags for recipes like this, we use these ones! They come in various sizes and I haven’t had one break in over a year of using them.

Notes

We like our zucchini to get golden brown and caramelized. If you’d like your zucchini less browned, cook for less time.

    Made this tonight. Had a question though….. your recipe says to have 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp cracked pepper , but it was never stated what to do with it?????? to add to the Italian dressing or to sprinkle after done.
    I made it without using any of those two ingredients and it was great. I’m not a big salt person but my husband is so can you advise what reason those two ingredients were listed for?

      Oh sorry about that! Yes, it’s just to season the zucchini. Some dressings will be saltier than others, so it’s just if needed. 🙂
