These crispy air fryer zucchini fries feature a flavorful garlic Parmesan coating that crisps up beautifully, making for a quick, easy, and satisfying snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium zucchinis, sliced into fries
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry 3 medium zucchinis. Cut off the ends, then slice lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick sticks, about 3-4 inches long.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Mix well.
  3. In another bowl, beat 2 large eggs until smooth.
  4. Dip each zucchini fry first into the beaten eggs, letting excess drip off, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating evenly.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and let it warm for about 3 minutes.
  6. Place the coated zucchini fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Spray lightly with olive oil spray.
  7. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking or turning fries halfway through for even crispness, until golden brown and crunchy outside but tender inside.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or a squeeze of lemon.

Notes

Pat zucchini dry with paper towels before coating to remove excess moisture and ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Use room temperature eggs for better coating adhesion. Spray fries lightly with olive oil spray for golden crispiness. To reheat leftovers, air fry at 375°F for 3-5 minutes to restore crispiness.
