Notes

You can experiment with different seasonings, such as adding Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, or Italian herbs like oregano and thyme.
For a more robust flavor, marinate the zucchini slices for 15-20 minutes before air frying.
If you're cooking for a larger group, you can double the recipe, but ensure the zucchini slices are in a single layer in the air fryer to ensure even crisping.
