Slice 1 small yellow squash and 1 small zucchini into ¼-inch thick discs.
Place discs in large bowl and generously sprinkle salt over veggies. Toss until veggies are well-coated, then set bowl aside and allow veggies to "sweat" 30 minutes at room temperature.
After 30 minutes, transfer veggie discs to paper towels. Blot discs with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Quickly rinse away any remaining salt and blot discs dry again.
Preheat air fryer to 400° Fahrenheit. Wipe out large bowl to remove excess moisture and salt, then return squash and zucchini to bowl.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then toss veggies until well-coated in oil and seasonings.
Transfer veggies to air fryer and spread discs out into one even layer. Work in batches as needed to avoid overcrowding basket.
Cook vegetables 6 to 7 minutes, or until discs are tender-crisp.
Remove air fried vegetables from air fryer basket and repeat until all vegetables have been cooked. Serve as desired.

For crisp squash, you absolutely must sweat the moisture out of the vegetables first.
