Storage & Freezing
Storage: To store any leftover air fryer zucchini, place them in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
Freezing: If you want to freeze your zucchini for longer storage, first allow them to cool completely. Lay them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are not touching each other. Freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container.
Reheating: To reheat the zucchini, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F for about 2 minutes, or until they are heated through.
