Air Fryer Zucchini Fries
Crispy air fryer zucchini sticks
Ingredients
- 1 large zucchini
- 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fine panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 3 tbsp olive oil or two eggs you can use olive oil or an egg wash
- oil spray
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Cut the zucchini into thin fries. A little thicker than shoestring size fries
- In a bowl combine the cheese, breadcrumbs, and Italian seasoning.
- Pour the olive oil over the zucchini fries and coat well or, dredge in the egg wash. Bread the zucchini sticks a few at a time in the cheese and breadcrumbs and place them on the baking sheet.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees for 3 minutes.
- Place some zucchini fries in the air fryer in a single layer, lightly spray with oil and cook for 6 minutes at 400 degrees. Turn the zucchini fries and spray the other sides with the oil. Finish cooking for another 6 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
You can use eggs or olive oil as your binding agent. I cook them without breadcrumbs sometimes to cut down on carbs and calories. If you have a rack or grate for your air fryer use it to get them very crispy on both sides. Don't hold the spray too close to the zucchini sticks or you'll blow the breading off. Lightly spray with quick side to side strokes and several inches away from the zucchini.
