Air fryer courgettes with Parmesan

Instructions

  • 1.Prepare the courgettes

    Wash and dry the courgettes, then cut into 1.5 cm thick half-moons.
    Preheat the empty basket for 3 minutes at 190 °C in Air Fry mode according to the manual.

  • 2.Season the courgettes

    Toss with the oil, garlic and salt just before cooking.
    Arrange in one layer in a large basket roughly 22 × 22 cm, or use two batches.

  • 3.Cook and add the Parmesan

    Cook at 190 °C for 8–12 minutes, turning halfway.
    Scatter the Parmesan over the pieces and cook for another 2 minutes, making 10–14 minutes per batch in total.

  • 4.Check the cooking

    Check from 10 minutes: the courgettes should be tender but hold their shape, with melted, lightly golden cheese.
    Lift out with a spatula to keep the topping intact.

Tips from Atelier Airfryer

A tip for better texture

Do not salt far in advance, as courgettes release water.
For a narrow basket, two small batches give a less watery result.

Adjusting batches

The displayed 14 minutes cover one batch; allow 10–14 minutes at 190 °C depending on your appliance.
The 3-minute preheat is included in preparation time.
If the basket is too small, repeat cooking without stacking the food.

Useful accessory (Amazon affiliate link)

Gently lift the cooked food with a Silicone spatula.
