Effortless Air Fryer Zucchini (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Veggies
01 -
3 zucchini, medium-sized
→ Spices
02 -
1 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
03 -
1 teaspoon salt (use more or less as needed)
04 -
1 tablespoon of mixed Italian herbs
→ Bread Coating
05 -
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
06 -
2 large eggs, beaten
07 -
1/2 cup plain flour
08 -
1 tablespoon oil spray for cooking
09 -
1 cup of breadcrumbs (Italian or panko style)
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by setting up three stations: Spread seasoned flour on a plate, crack and mix eggs in one bowl, and combine Parmesan with breadcrumbs in another.
02 -
Slice zucchini into fry shapes about 3 inches long. Coat each piece—flour first, then egg (let the extra drip off), and finally breadcrumb-Parmesan mix. Press gently to help it stick.
03 -
Lightly mist oil inside the air fryer basket. Place breaded zucchini in a single layer (don’t crowd it!). Spray the fries lightly with oil, then cook at 400°F for 9 minutes until golden and crunchy.
04 -
Carefully take out those crispy fries and enjoy them while still warm. Each bite is full of Parmesan flavor and Italian herbs!
# Notes:
01 -
Cook in multiple portions to keep the fries from touching each other.
02 -
A quick spritz of oil helps them crisp up better.
03 -
These are at their best served hot from the air fryer.
