Air Fryer Yellow Squash Recipe

Contributor: Christine Pittman

I love yellow squash cooked in the air fryer. It comes out nice and browned in places without being too mushy in the middle, and it only takes 8 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 small-to-medium yellow squash
  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
  2. Trim the two ends off each squash. Slice them in half lengthwise, end to end. Slice into 3/4-inch slices.
  3. Put the yellow squash slices in a medium bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
  4. Transfer to the air fryer basket and toss to get them into a single layer.
  5. Cook for 5 minutes. Check and see if they’re browned and slightly softened in the middle. If not, toss and then cook another 2-3 minutes.
