Prepare a batch of fresh air fryer roasted cucumbers in minutes without using breading! A quick snack and a perfect little appetizer - so, here is the recipe.
Equipment
- Air Fryer (Can also be done in a convection oven, but you'll need to adjust the cooking time accordingly)
- 1 Bowl (For mixing the ingredients)
Ingredients
- 1 Fresh Cucumber
- ~2 tsp Olive Oil
- ~2 tsp Herbs de Provence (Other herb mixes will also work)
- ~2 tsp Powdered Bell Pepper
- 1 tbsp Strained Yogurt / Greek Yogurt (Optional for serving)
Instructions
- Cut your cucumber into small pieces (approx 0.4 in / 1 cm tall).1 Fresh Cucumber
- Put your cucumbers in your prepared bowl and add 1tsp of olive oil per 8-10 pieces of cucumber.~2 tsp Olive Oil
- Add your spices to the bowl - Herbs de Provence & Powdered Bell Pepper in our case!~2 tsp Powdered Bell Pepper, ~2 tsp Herbs de Provence
- Mix the spices and the olive oil with the cucumber pieces using your hands.
- Evenly distribute the cucumber pieces in your air fryer.If you're trying to prepare larger batches of air fried cucumber, be sure to check if no cucumber pieces are covered by the others. If that's the case they might not roast evenly.
- Air fry for around 8 minutes in 400°F / 200°C. Important: check on your cucumbers at least once during the cooking process.Small cucumber pieces can easily get burnt in an air fryer and the cooking time can differ from appliance to appliance.
- It's done! If you find your cucumbers to still have too much water in them you can either leave them in for a little bit longer in a much lower temperature (careful not to burn them), or eat them as they are - it won't affect their final taste.
- As with all roasted vegetables, we recommend you to snack on your air fried cucumber with a tablespoon of strained yogurt (also called Greek yogurt). Yum!1 tbsp Strained Yogurt / Greek Yogurt
