Crispy zucchini fries made in the air fryer, a healthier and delicious alternative to traditional fries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large zucchini
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for extra crispiness)

Instructions

  1. Wash and trim the ends off the zucchini. Cut the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick sticks.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each zucchini stick into the beaten egg, letting any excess drip off.
  4. Roll the egg-coated zucchini sticks in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the coated zucchini sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If using, lightly spray or toss with olive oil for extra crispiness.
  6. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, omit the Parmesan cheese or use a dairy-free alternative.
  • You can add other seasonings like paprika or onion powder to the breadcrumb mixture for extra flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model.
