Ingredients

  • 2 Medium Size Zucchini
  • 1/2 Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs
  • 1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Cut zucchini into sticks. I like to cut my zucchini into thirds and then cut each third in half length wise and then cut each of those pieces into thirds or fourths. You can cut your zucchini into whatever size you’d like. Thinner zucchini fries will be crispier and cook faster.
  • Place the zucchini in a large bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of salt, stir.
  • In a shallow bowl or dish combine remaining salt, flour, garlic powder and pepper.
  • In a separate shallow dish whisk eggs.
  • In a third shallow dish mix together the panko crumbs and parmesan cheese.
  • To make sure the breading sticks pat the zucchini dry with paper towels before dredging.
  • Dip the cut zucchini into the flour to coat, then dip in the egg, and finally coat the zucchini in the bread crumb mixture.
  • Lightly oil the air fryer basket and then place the breaded zucchini fry in the air fryer basket.
  • Repeat until all of the zucchini fries have been breaded and placed evenly spaced in a single layer in the air fryer. You may have to work in batches. As the first batch cooks you can continue breading your remaining fries and place them on a baking sheet until ready to cook.
  • Air fry at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
