These delightful air fryer zucchini fries offer a satisfying crunch while being a healthier snack option. Perfect for those craving something indulgent without the guilt!
Begin by lightly spraying your air fryer basket with olive oil to assist with preventing the fries from sticking.
For Zucchini Preparation:
Trim the ends off the zucchinis, slice each one in half lengthwise, and then chop into thin sticks measuring about 3 to 4 inches in length and 1/2 inch in width.
For Coating:
In a small bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, mixing thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined and smooth for dipping the zucchini sticks.
Take each zucchini stick, dip it first into the beaten eggs, and then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
Arrange the breaded zucchini sticks in a single layer within the greased air fryer basket. If necessary, do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Set the air fryer to 350ºF and cook the zucchini fries for approximately 8 to 10 minutes, or until they achieve a golden brown color and crispy texture. Watch carefully to prevent overcooking!
Serve the zucchini fries immediately for optimal crunchiness and enjoy this delicious snack!
