Prep: 20 min · Cook: 16 min · Yield: 4 · Method: Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 serving olive oil spray
Cooking instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes. Cut the zucchini into sticks about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick. Pat them dry with paper towels. (about 5 min) — 400°F
- Set out three shallow bowls. Place the flour in the first. Beat the eggs in the second. In the third, combine the panko, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. (about 3 min)
- Coat each zucchini stick in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it in the egg, then press it into the seasoned panko mixture until evenly covered. (about 8 min)
- Lightly coat the air-fryer basket with olive oil spray. Arrange the zucchini in a single layer without crowding, working in batches as needed. Spray the tops lightly with oil. (about 2 min) — 400°F
- Air-fry for 8 minutes, turning the sticks halfway through, until the coating is golden and crisp and the zucchini is tender. Serve immediately; repeat with the remaining zucchini. (about 8 min) — 400°F
