General Tips

Look for squash with a vibrant yellow skin and no marring. They should be firm with just a bit of give, not soft.
Fresh zucchini should have a deep green skin with no marring. The zucchini should be firm with just a touch of give.

It's best to toss your sliced veggies with the oil and seasonings or fold them with a spatula rather than stirring them. This prevents the sliced veggies from breaking up.
For even cooking in all air fryer recipes, preheat your air fryer. It only takes a couple of minutes, but it produces the best results.
ALWAYS wash your vegetables, even organic ones. You never know what might be lurking on the skin.
If your air fryer is on the small side, cook the vegetables in batches. Never layer the vegetables on top of each other.
