Ingredients
3medium yellow squashabout 4 cups, cubed
spray olive oil
1teaspoonItalian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
3heaping tablespoons grated parmesan
Instructions
Quarter the squash into small cubes as seen in the photos. Spray with olive oil, and add Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to taste.
When you are sure the squash is coated evenly with oil, toss it with the parmesan. Do not overmix and stop when the parmesan is evenly distributed.
Preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes to 390 degrees F. Carefully add a liner and add the squash to the air fryer basket in an even layer. Cook 5 minutes, toss, and cook an additional 4-5 minutes until the parmesan has begun to brown and the squash is tender.
Cooking note: I find yellow squash to have a slightly higher moisture content than zucchini. Yellow squash requires 10-12 minutes of total cooking time, whereas zucchini requires 8-10 minutes of cooking time.
