Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, trimmed
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Cut zucchinis into 1/2-inch thick sticks.
- Set up three shallow dishes. Place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in the third.
- Dredge each zucchini stick first in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Arrange zucchini fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd.
- Lightly spray the fries with cooking spray.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even crisping.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can double-coat the zucchini sticks by dipping them in egg and breadcrumbs again.
- Ensure the zucchini sticks are dry before breading for better adhesion.
- Dipping sauce ideas: Ranch, marinara, honey mustard, or a spicy aioli.
