Ingredients
- 2 Medium Zucchini cut into sticks
- ½ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- ½ cup Breadcrumbs or Panko
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil or cooking spray
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- Salt & Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the zucchini into even sticks and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a bowl, beat the egg. In another shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each zucchini stick into the egg, then coat evenly in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Place the coated zucchini in a single layer in the air fryer basket. (Do multiple batches if necessary)
- Lightly spray or drizzle with olive oil.
- Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 10–12 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Cut the zucchini evenly for consistent cooking
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket
- Use a light oil spray for best crisping
