Air Fryer Zucchini Boats
Air fryer zucchini boats are a great way to use the abundant amounts of zucchini that everyone seems to be growing in their gardens this summer!
Fresh zucchini is cut and stuffed with a super flavorful mixture of mozzarella cheese, panko bread crumbs, seasonings, sautéed onion and then air fried until tender and golden.
I recommend using small to medium zucchini for this recipe so that each zucchini is a single portion (although larger zucchini will work too, and you can just cut the larger squash in half).
One trick I learned long ago when removing the flesh from the center of the zucchini is to use a tea spoon. A teaspoon is a perfect size for scrapping the flesh out, leaving a nice well to put your ingredients in.
Another thing I learned along the way in my kitchen is to sauté the onions first and add them to the mix later. Sautéed onions add so much flavor to foods, I use them in many if not all of my recipes. For this recipe, you could skip this process and just add the onion while you sauté the zucchini flesh.
Simply melt some butter and add the onion, sauté until golden brown then add the zucchini flesh that was scooped out using the teaspoon method. This truly is a simple time-saving recipe that is packed with flavor.
I prefer to use fresh mozzarella but the packaged stuff will work also. I find that most fresh mozzarella tends to be lower in sodium that the packaged kind.
As soon as I remove the boats from the air fryer I like to top it off with fresh cut basil. (I grow basil year-round and use it often in my recipes.) That’s it, Enjoy!

Air Fryer Chicken Cordon Bleu
There are so many ways to serve chicken: fried chicken, chicken stir fry, chicken noodle casserole, chicken tacos, chicken salad, chicken tortilla soup, chicken noodle soup, etc., and all of these are wonderful. But how often do you think to make a rather fancy chicken dish to serve on a weeknight?
Growing up we never had Chicken Cordon Bleu, but we had fried chicken quite often. When I was an adult, I discovered wonderful, delicious Chicken Cordon Bleu. I love using my air fryer, and it made sense to use the air fryer instead of heating up the kitchen with the oven for an hour. Now we can have a great meal in a short time all year long.
You can have a lovely main dish finished in a short amount of time and impress your guests. You might want some side dishes to go with your dinner. A few ideas are mashed potatoes, baked potatoes with sour cream and chives, green beans with toasted almonds, buttered broccoli, air fryer roasted asparagus, rice cooked in unsalted chicken broth or a nice salad of butter lettuce with a low sodium dressing Your young children and teens, spouses and even parents and friends will be impressed with this recipe, especially to find it was made in your air fryer.
Set out some wine glasses and pour a little wine to serve with your fancy dinner. Enjoy your meal!
