Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko works great)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • Cooking spray or olive oil

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your fries start cooking immediately for maximum crispiness.
  2. Cut the zucchinis into fry-shaped sticks, about 1/2-inch thick and 3-4 inches long. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. In one bowl, whisk the eggs. In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Dip each zucchini stick into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Place on a plate as you work.
  5. Arrange the coated zucchini fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with cooking spray or brush with olive oil.
  6. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately!

Notes

For the crispiest results, make sure your zucchini is completely dry before coating. If making a larger batch, work in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. These fries pair wonderfully with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or garlic aioli.
