How to make the air fryer za'atar zucchini
The first step is to cut your zucchini into cubes. Try for cubes about ½ an inch. If you wind up doing larger cubes, it's fine. It just may take a little longer to cook in your air fryer.
Add your zucchini cubes to a bowl, then add the olive oil and zaatar seasoning and toss to combine.
Add to your air fryer and cook at 400 degrees F for 9-10 minutes, shaking halfway and checking frequently.
Remove, and plate!
What is zaatar seasoning?
Zaatar seasoning is a Middle Eastern spice blend that is so tasty! It varies what it's made of, but it's usually dried thyme, dried oregano, sumac, marjoram, toasted sesame seeds, and salt.

Notes
- Every air fryer cooks differently. And air fryers may take longer depending on size and if you're cooking a larger amount. Always test for doneness. Your air fryer may take shorter or longer, depending on how much zucchini you're cooking and how large your air fryer is.
- If you've cut your zucchini into larger pieces, they may take longer to cook. Start testing for doneness around 8-9 minutes, but cook longer if needed until done.
