Can I use frozen zucchini?

Technically yes, but fresh is WAY better. Frozen zucchini gets watery when thawed, so you'll end up with soggy results. If you must use frozen, pat the slices bone-dry first and maybe crank up the oven by 25°F.

Can I air-fry instead of roast?

Absolutely, My air fryer makes killer everything bagel zucchini at 380°F for 10-12 minutes. Shake the basket halfway - and maybe spritz with extra oil since air fryers dry things out faster. Air frying techniques can sometimes lead to dryness if not monitored.

What if I can't find everything bagel seasoning?

No sweat, Mix 1 tbsp each sesame seeds, dried minced onion, dried garlic, plus 1 tsp poppy seeds and 1/2 tsp salt. Boom - homemade blend in 30 seconds. For more ideas on homemade seasoning blends, check out resources on spice blending.

Why are my slices turning out mushy?

Three likely culprits: overcrowded pan (they steam instead of roast), zucchini was too ripe (pick firm ones), or you skipped preheating the oven. Happens to us all.
