How To Make Air Fryer Zucchini
- Quickly peel your zucchini. Leaving some (or all) of the skin is also fine. This only increases the amount of fiber you’re getting from your veggies.
- Cut your zucchini into 1/8 to 1/4 inch medallions.
- Quickly dip your medallions into the egg wash.
- Dredge your zucchini slices into the flour mixture.
- Place in a springform pan , or any other pan that fits comfortably in your air fryer .
- Spray liberally with a glass oil sprayer or aerosol oil spray
- Cook at 350F for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking cycle.
How To Make Zucchini So It Doesn’t Get Mushy
Zucchini is just like any other veggie, it is full of liquid. If you’re wanting to make sure your zucchini doesn’t get mushy, make sure you dab it with a paper towel.
If you don’t remove any extra moisture, it will absorb all of the flour from your batter and keep your air fryer zucchini from getting crispy.
Tips and Tricks
- If you don’t feel like peeling your zucchini or need the extra fiber in your diet, feel free to leave all of the peel on. Just make sure you wash thoroughly before cooking.
- Dab the zucchini with a paper towel or dishcloth to remove any excess water before dipping in the egg wash.
- Use almond flour instead of all purpose flour to keep this a low carb side dish .
- Add your favorite spices to make this a perfect match for your main course .

Fennel and chicken is a very popular combination in many South Indian Dishes, and this Air Fryer Fennel Chicken recipe is a great, fast, and healthy dinner that you’re sure to love!
What Makes This Air Fryer Fennel Chicken Recipe So Good
Somedays I have a recipe idea in mind and then I go into the kitchen to create it. Somedays I stand in the kitchen quite lost, until I come up with something that sounds good.
Other days I have a TASTE I’m trying to create. This Air Fryer Fennel Chicken was one of those.
I love fennel seeds. It’s not a very commonly used spice in the U.S., and when we do, we use fresh fennel. But fennel seeds form an important part of many dishes including my Masala Chai Recipe.
The fennel in this dish really elevates it to something different. I know many of you will write to me to ask what to substitute for Fennel–but I honestly don’t know.
I mean, this is Fennel chicken. If you subbed something else, then it wouldn’t be Fennel Chicken now, would it?
So I’d suggest you get some Fennel Seeds and make this Air Fryer Spicy Fennel Chicken right away!

How To Make Air Fryer Fennel Chicken
I know some of you like process pictures and others don’t so I will try to keep this section short but relevant and hopefully, helpful. Follow these steps to make this air fryer recipe :
Get all your ingredients together. It’s really chicken, onions, and a bunch of delicious spices.
Since this is a simple, pour and cook recipe, you’re going to mix everything but the cilantro in here. So Chicken, onion, ginger, garlic, ground fennel seeds, smoked paprika, turmeric, cayenne, garam masala, and salt.
You need to pierce the chicken with a fork to get all the spicy goodness to penetrate the chicken. Now, let it marinade. There’s nothing acidic in this marinade that will cook the chicken, so anything from 30 minutes to 24+ hours is probably just fine, as long as you keep it refrigerated.
Okay, see how it looks in that air fryer basket? There is definitely some overlap in the chicken, but it’s not like it’s all piled higgledy piggeldy on top of each other. So you want to get as close to a single layer as possible, but don’t sweat it.
That chicken will shrink as it cooks anyway so it’s not going to be a huge issue.
You really want a good thermometer to check the temperature because, with so much spice, sight alone won’t tell you if your chicken is cooked. Also, see what I said earlier about the chicken shrinking as it cooked?
Now you can add the cilantro and the lemon juice, and you will be good to go!
What Is Fennel?
If you’re not familiar with Fennel, it is a vegetable that is part of the parsley family. The base of the plant is bulb, it has stalks similar to celery and it has feather-like leaves at the top. It’s quite high in vitamin C and it is often used in Indian cooking.
The entirety of the plant is edible, including the leaves, bulbs, seeds, and even the pollen. In this particular recipe, we use the seeds.
What Do Fennel Seeds Taste Like?
Fennel seeds have a very aromatic flavor. They are sweet and have a subtle licorice-like flavor. The flavor is fairly comparable to anise.
