Ingredients

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
2 medium yellow squash
1 small onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for best results.
In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and garlic powder to create a flavorful marinade.
Cut the squash into 1x3-inch strips, then add them to the marinade. Add the sliced onion, ensuring all pieces are coated. Sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
Air-fry in batches, if necessary, to prevent overcrowding. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, then shake the air fryer basket. Continue cooking until the vegetables are slightly soft and the edges begin to char, about 5 to 7 minutes more.
