Description
Crispy air fryer zucchini fries seasoned with parmesan and herbs. An easy appetizer or side dish ready in minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini cut into half inch sticks
- 1 half cup all purpose flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 half cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 half teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 quarter teaspoon black pepper
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Trim the ends off the zucchini. Cut each zucchini in half crosswise, then slice into half inch thick sticks. Leave the skin on.
- Set up three shallow bowls. Place the flour in the first bowl. Add the beaten eggs to the second bowl. In the third bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Working with a few zucchini sticks at a time, coat each piece in flour and shake off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs to fully coat. Then press into the breadcrumb mixture, coating all sides evenly.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes.
- Arrange the breaded zucchini fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each piece. Cook in batches if needed. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray.
- Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside. There is no need to flip during cooking.
- Remove carefully and serve immediately while hot and crisp.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket or the zucchini will steam instead of crisping.
