Crispy Air Fryer Zucchini Fries
Crispy air fryer zucchini fries use a Parmesan-panko coating for a crunchy vegetable side that cooks quickly with very little oil.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 55 g
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs 45 g
- 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan 30 g
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Cut zucchini into fry-shaped sticks and pat very dry.
- Set up three shallow bowls: flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper in the third.
- Coat each zucchini stick in flour, then egg, then the panko mixture, pressing gently so the coating adheres.
- Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket and lightly spray with olive oil.
- Air fry at 390°F / 199°C for 8–12 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp.
- Serve immediately while the coating is crunchy.
