Method
How to make garlic aioli:
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well.
- Season to taste and set aside in the fridge until serving.
How to make zucchini chips:
- Cut the zucchini into very thin rounds using a mandoline or very sharp knife.
- Toss in a bowl with a good pinch of salt.
- Spread the slices out in a single layer on a clean dishcloth for 5 minutes.
- Take another dishcloth, cover them, and press gently to extract as much water out of the zucchini as possible.
- Heat an air fryer to 180˚C.
- Coat the air fryer basket or tray with cooking/olive oil spray.
- Add enough zucchini slices to sit in a single layer.
- Sprinkle zucchini with about 1 Tbsp of the grated Parmesan cheese and a little garlic powder.
- Air-fry until golden-brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Check the chips halfway through. Small chips may brown and crisp before larger ones.
- Transfer the chips to a serving plate. Repeat air frying the remaining zucchini.
How to make portabello steaks:
- Preheat a grill on medium-high heat.
- Combine all the ingredients, except the mushrooms, in a small jug.
- Blitz with a stick blender.
- Place mushroom steaks on the grill and brush them liberally with the herby garlic oil.
- Grill until tender and lightly charred all over, basting while you cook.
- Serve mushrooms hot off the grill with a pile of zucchini chips, a good dollop of aioli, and some more herb oil on the side.
- Enjoy!
