How to cook deliciously - Air Fryer Loaded Zucchini Skins

1. Stage

Spray an air-fryer basket with cooking spray. Place bacon in basket and cook at 350°, flipping halfway through, until cooked through and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer bacon to a cutting board. Let cool slightly, then finely chop.

2. Stage

Meanwhile, cut zucchini in half lengthwise, then in half crosswise. Using a teaspoon, scoop out seeds, creating 8 boats with roughly 1/4"-thick sides and bottoms. Lightly spray zucchini with cooking spray; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

3. Stage

Working in batches if necessary, in air-fryer basket, arrange zucchini cut side up in a single layer, spacing about 1/8" apart. Cook at 400° until just tender and starting to turn golden in spots, about 7 minutes.

4. Stage

Remove air-fryer basket and carefully (basket will be hot) fill zucchini with cheese. Return to air fryer and continue to cook at 400° until cheese is bubbly and golden, 1 to 2 minutes more.

5. Stage

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mash avocado with a fork. Stir in tomatoes, onion, lime juice, cilantro, 2 teaspoons jalapeño, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.

6. Stage

Arrange zucchini boats on a platter. Spoon guacamole into zucchini boats. Top with bacon, more cilantro, and remaining jalapeño.
