Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes. While it heats, wash and dry the zucchini, trim the ends, then slice each zucchini in half lengthwise before cutting them into ¼-inch half-discs.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped zucchini with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Place half of the seasoned zucchini in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 7 to 9 minutes until tender-crisp and lightly browned. Cook in batches if necessary.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack, optionally garnished with fresh herbs and lemon juice.
