Step-by-Step Instructions for Air Fryer Squash and Zucchini

Prepare the vegetables by cutting off the ends of both the zucchini and yellow squash. Slice them lengthwise and then cut into half-moon shapes.
In a large bowl, combine the cut vegetables with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss well until evenly coated.
Transfer the seasoned vegetable mixture into the air fryer basket. Set your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and cook for 15 minutes, tossing halfway through.
After 15 minutes, check for doneness; they should be golden brown and fork-tender. Air fry for an additional 1-2 minutes if needed.
Consider sprinkling fresh herbs on top before serving to enhance flavor and aroma.
