Rinse and pat dry the zucchini and squash. Trim both ends and roll cut both the zucchini and the squash to similar bite sizes.
Preheat the air fryer to 380F (193C).
In a large bowl, add the zucchini and squash. Season them with ingredients from oil to 2 tbsp parmesan cheese. Toss and coat evenly.
Add them to the air fryer basket and spread them out into a single layer. A little overlap is okay. Air fryer for 8 minutes total. Toss the basket halfway through. The squash should be cooked through but still has some bite to it and not mushy. If not, cook another 2 minutes further.
To serve, transfer them to a serving plate. Sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese. Serve warm or at room temperature.

How to roll cut - Hold your knife at an angle of about 45 degrees to the squash. Make the first cut near one end of the squash. This should result in a piece with a diagonal or oblique end that’s about 1-1.25-inch width. Next, roll the ingredient a quarter turn (90 degrees). Make another cut at the same 45-degree angle, roughly the same distance down as the length of the first piece. Repeat the process of rolling the ingredient a quarter turn, then cutting at a 45-degree angle, until the entire ingredient has been cut.
Slice the squash into similar bite sizes for even cooking time.
Select zucchini and squash in straight tube shapes with even thickness for even cooking time.
