Suggestions for Ingredient Substitution

For those looking to vary the keto air fryer zoodles recipe, spiralized zucchini can be replaced with several low-carb alternatives. Spiralized yellow squash offers a similar texture and mild flavor, requiring no adjustments to cooking time or method. For a slightly different taste and texture, try spiralized kohlrabi or daikon radish. These vegetables are firmer and may need an extra minute or two in the air fryer. Alternatively, spiralized bell peppers can add a pop of color and sweetness to the dish. When using bell peppers, reduce the cooking time slightly to prevent burning. These substitutions maintain the low-carb profile of the dish while offering variety in flavor and nutrients. All of these alternatives can be easily found in most grocery stores or spiralized at home using a standard spiralizer tool.

Ingredients

  • 1 spiralized zucchini

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Begin by preheating your air fryer to 390°F for 5 minutes.

This ensures that the cooking environment is already hot, allowing your zucchini to cook evenly and reduce moisture absorption.

Step 2: Cook the Spiralized Zucchini

Place the spiralized zucchini into the air fryer basket in an even layer.

Cook the zucchini for 5 minutes at 390°F.

Make sure to shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.

If you prefer your zoodles more tender and cooked, add a few more minutes as needed.

Step 3: Add Toppings and Serve

Once the zucchini is cooked to your preferred consistency, remove it from the air fryer basket.

Top the zoodles with meatballs, marinara sauce, or your choice of toppings.

Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy and flavorful meal!
