Steps

01Wash and slice into 1/4-inch rounds.
02Salt the slices and let sit on a paper towel for 5 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
03Pat dry.
04Toss with oil and remaining seasoning.
05Ready for the air fryer.

Yellow squash and zucchini are interchangeable in the air fryer. Yellow squash is slightly sweeter and softer. The salt-and-drain step is more important here than with zucchini because yellow squash has even higher water content. Skip it and you get steamed squash. Do it and you get roasted, caramelized squash with golden edges.
