Fresh Zucchini: Since air fryers often use smaller zucchini, medium-sized zucchini work best for this dish.

How are Zucchini Pizza Bites made?
Slice your zucchini into 1/4-inch pieces first, then put them in the lined basket of your Air Fryer. Add salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Add some sugar-free marinara and some shredded cheese on top. For six minutes, cook at 375 degrees Fahrenheit in your air fryer. Cook the zucchini and cheese for 2 minutes at a time after 6 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and soft.
How hot should zucchini be cooked while air-frying it?
This zucchini should be cooked at 375 degrees F. Cooking at a higher temperature will cause the cheese to burn before the zucchini is cooked through.
In an air fryer, how long do you cook zucchini?
After cooking for the first six minutes, sauté the zucchini and cheese for another two minutes at a time, or until the cheese is golden brown.
Air Fryer Liners
Without the liner for the air fryer, this dish would be quite sloppy. Online, you may get liners that fit the majority of air fryers and are among the most widely used basket sizes. If you would rather, you can use parchment paper that has been trimmed to fit your particular air fryer.
How to Make the Best Pizza Bites with Zucchini
Avoid chopping your zucchini too thinly. Keep in mind that this recipe calls for excellent, thin slices because it only needs to cook for six minutes.
To make cleanup easier, use liners.
Tailor your toppings to your personal preferences. Add some pesto, pepperoni, peppers, onions, black olives, and parmesan cheese to these bite-sized treats!
