How long do you air fry zucchini?

Zucchini rounds (¼ in / 6 mm thick) take 8–11 minutes at 400°F (205°C), shaken at 5 minutes. Zucchini sticks or batons (½ in / 13 mm thick) take 10–13 minutes, flipped at 6 minutes. Breaded zucchini rounds take 10–14 minutes at 390°F (199°C). Zucchini is done when golden on the edges and tender in the center.

How do you keep air fryer zucchini from getting soggy?

Zucchini has very high water content. After slicing, salt the pieces and let them drain on paper towels for 10–15 minutes, then pat dry before oiling — this removes excess moisture. Cook in a single layer at 400°F (205°C) without overcrowding. Do not pre-salt if skipping the drain step, as undrained moisture steams the zucchini.

Dicas

Salt zucchini slices or sticks and let them sit on paper towels for 10–15 minutes before cooking — this draws out the excess water that would otherwise steam the pieces.
Pat completely dry after salting before tossing with oil; wet zucchini steams instead of roasts.
Use minimal oil — 1 tsp per medium zucchini is sufficient. Too much oil combined with zucchini's high water content creates a soggy result.
Cook in a single layer with space between pieces; zucchini releases steam as it cooks and crowding prevents any browning.
For breaded zucchini, let the coated pieces rest 5 minutes before air frying so the coating adheres before the hot air blows at it.

Erros Comuns

Skipping the salt-and-drain step — zucchini is about 95% water and without pre-salting, the excess moisture steams the pieces and prevents browning.
Overcrowding the basket; steamed zucchini is soft and lacks any caramelized flavor.
Cooking at too low a temperature; zucchini needs 390–400°F to caramelize the cut surfaces rather than steam.
Not flipping sticks or halves — only one side develops any browning while the other stays pale.
Adding wet sauces or cheese before cooking; they create steam and the zucchini never crisps. Add toppings after cooking.
