Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 courgettes (approx. 400g) quartered lengthways, deseeded and cut into 3cm pieces, on the diagonal
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.25 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp dried oregano

Instructions

  • Toss the courgettes in a bowl with the oil, salt, pepper and oregano. Mix well to coat.
  • Transfer the seasoned courgettes to the air fryer and cook for 15 minutes at 180C. Make sure to shake them a couple of times during cooking.

Oven Instructions

  • If you don’t have an air fryer, the courgettes can be roasted in the oven instead. Preheat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
  • Toss the courgettes in a medium roasting tin with the oil, salt, pepper and oregano. Mix well to coat, then roast for 30 minutes. Toss the courgettes halfway through cooking.

Notes

  • Oven cooking – if you don’t have an air fryer, the courgettes can easily be roasted in the oven instead – see the Instructions below. 
  • Herbs and spices – replace the dried oregano with Italian seasoning, basil or thyme for a different Mediterranean twist.  Try seasoning with smoked paprika, garlic powder or chilli flakes for different flavour profiles. 
  • Cheese options – top with crumbled feta, goat cheese or grated parmesan for added flavour. 
  • Toppings – garnish with lemon zest, balsamic glaze or toasted pine nuts for extra flair. 
  • Leftovers – chop and add leftover courgettes to pasta dishes or omelettes.  Use as a crunchy topping for salads or grain bowls. 
  • This easy air fryer courgettes recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
