Ingredients
  

  • 2 Yellow Squash
  • ½ teaspoon Paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°f. 
  • Slice the squash to ¼” thick. 
  • Add squash to a mixing bowl. Toss in oil and spices. Fully coat the squash. 
  • Place each slice of squash in the air fryer basket, do not place them on top of one another.  
  • Cook each batch at 400°f for 15 minutes. Let cool and serve.  

Notes

  • Dry squash before seasoning for the best texture—no soggy slices here.
  • Don’t overcrowd the basket or you’ll end up steaming instead of crisping.
  • Breadcrumb bonus: For extra crunch, coat air fryer squash slices in seasoned breadcrumbs after tossing with oil.
  • Shake or rotate halfway: Air circulation is key! Shaking the basket or flipping the slices at the halfway point (around 8 minutes) helps cook the squash evenly on all sides.
