Cut off the ends of each zucchini and slice them both into half longways. Then slice each of those halves into half longways once more. Now, cut the quartered zucchini into bite size pieces and place into a large bowl.
Drizzle the zucchini with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. How much oil you use is totally up to you. Then sprinkle the zucchini with salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Now, toss the zucchini with a spoon to evenly coat. You can use as much or as little cayenne as you want to achieve your desired level of spiciness.
Pour the seasoned zucchini into the air fryer basket and cook it at 400°F with the timer set for 15 minutes. Then after 8 minutes of cooking remove the air fryer basket and shake it to move the zucchini around so that it will evenly cook. Now, put the zucchini back into the air fryer and allow it to finish cooking.
When done, remove the air fryer basket and place the spicy zucchini on your serving dish to enjoy.
