Air Fryer Roasted Zucchini

Air frying is a delicious healthy way to enjoy zucchini without breading it. The zucchini cooks to a beautiful golden brown thanks to the hot air and is a simple side dish.
Zucchini, like summer squash, is a wonderful and versatile vegetable. I've used it to make bacon and cheese spoon bread (the perfect side dish) and also harvest bread in the fall.
