Dive into this Air Fryer Zucchini Onion Pie fork first. Diced zucchini and onion come together with Bisquick, seasonings, and parmesan cheese. Air fry this zucchini pie up to golden perfection.

Zucchini and onion pie is one recipe I enjoy making when zucchini season is in full force. It is loaded with flavor, simple ingredients, and a dish the whole family will love.

Serve up this zucchini and onion pie recipe for a potluck event, pair it with dinner, or take it to a summer cookout.

What is Bisquick?
Bisquick is a blend of flour, shortening, baking powder, and salt. You can buy Bisquick at the grocery store.

If you live in a different country, I have heard many don’t know what it is. You can easily make homemade Bisquick baking mix with a few pantry essentials you might already have on hand.

How To Make Homemade Bisquick
To make homemade Bisquick for this recipe, or any recipe that needs Bisquick here is how to make it with some pantry items you have on hand,

  • 6 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable shortening

To make it, add all of the ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth.

What is the texture of this pie?
This vegetable pie is a cross between a cake and a quiche, in my personal opinion. It is not like a traditional pie with a crust. This is a crustless pie made with a baking mix.

Is this a side dish or a main dish?
Air fryer onion and zucchini pie can serve as either a main dish or even a side dish. The key is to make it up and then enjoy it as a meatless dish, or pair next to some pinto beans, chili, etc.

I even love this zucchini pie next to grilled steaks. This recipe is so easy, and it pairs great with so many main dishes.

Variations To Recipe

  • Instead of diced zucchini and onion, you can thinly slice the veggies and layer them in that way.
  • Swap out the parmesan cheese with mozzarella, sharp cheddar, pepper jack, etc. Any cheese swap will help to change up the flavor.
  • Consider adding in some cooked crumbled sausage for a meaty zucchini pie.
  • Instead of Bisquick, use cornbread as the base for a whole new level of flavor.

Can I Use Frozen Zucchini in the pie?
If you happened to freeze some of the zucchini you had on hand, you are welcome to use it for this recipe. Since the zucchini gets air fried, you will find it becomes soggy in texture.

If it were a recipe you are crisping up like fried zucchini, you wouldn’t want to use frozen. But this recipe is more than acceptable.

Tips for Making This Zucchini Pie Recipe

  • Evenly cut vegetables are key. You can use a mandoline for speeding up cutting your veggies.
  • Make sure to mix up the wet ingredients until well mixed. Then fold in the zucchini and onions. That way, you ensure all your egg mixture gets mixed well.
  • Cook until the zucchini pie is set up in the center. You will know by taking a toothpick and testing the center of the dish. If it comes out with wet batter, cook it longer.
  • You can bake this in the oven, at 350 degrees.

How to Store

  • Fridge – You will need to store any leftovers you may have in the refrigerator. Store your zucchini dish covered tightly. It will last 3-4 days in the fridge.
  • Freezer – Maybe you are looking to freeze some of your pie. Go right ahead and store in a freezer-friendly container for 3-4 months. When you want to eat, thaw in the fridge overnight. Or you can cover tightly in aluminum foil and heat in the oven until warmed through.
