To serve:
Salad leaves
Olive oil dressing
Method
I thinly sliced the courgette length ways then popped the onto a plate and used kitchen roll to remove any excess moisture. I then sprayed them with vegetable oil and sprinkled them with a little garlic salt. This time I used preserved peppers as they have this incredible sweetness to them and they complement the courgette and roll so beautifully. I placed the peppers onto the ready cut courgette and rolled them up. Carefully pop your stuffed courgettes on to the wooden skewers and place them into your air fryer drawer. Cook them on 180c for 10 minutes turning in the middle to ensure that your kebabs are crispy on both sides.
When they are cooked I served my air fried courgette kebabs on a crisp salad with a rosemary infused olive oil dressing.
For those who enjoy a bit of a kick, try adding a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes or a drizzle of chilli oil to your kebabs before cooking. This will give them an extra layer of flavour and make them even more exciting to eat.
If you’re preparing these kebabs for a party or gathering, they can be prepped ahead of time. Simply assemble the kebabs and keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to cook. This makes it easy to have a tasty and healthy option ready to go without any last-minute stress.
