Main Ingredients:

1 medium courgette (zucchini), sliced into rounds or sticks

1 tablespoon olive oil (or cooking spray)

1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Estimated Calories (per serving, approx. 150g zucchini):

Without Parmesan: ~70–90 kcal

With Parmesan: ~120–140 kcal

Production Methods:

1. Prepare the courgettes: Wash and slice the courgettes evenly into rounds or sticks. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

2. Season: In a large bowl, toss the courgette pieces with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings like garlic powder or paprika. If using Parmesan, add it now for extra crispiness.

3. Air fry: Preheat the air fryer to 190°C (375°F). Place the courgette in the air fryer basket in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary).

4. Cook: Air fry for 10–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and slightly crispy on the edges.

5. Serve: Remove and serve hot. Optionally, drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with fresh parsley for extra freshness.
