Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp. paprika
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 2 whole eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Cut the zucchinis first in half, then into 1/8ths, so you end up with 16 pieces per zucchini. Dry them with a paper towel to absorb any extra moisture and season with salt. Let them sit for 5 minutes before patting dry again.
- Grab 3 shallow dishes and add flour to one. 2 beaten eggs to the second. In the third, whisk together the Panko, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt and pepper.
- Dip each zucchini slice in flour, tapping excess off.
- Next, add to the egg mixture and evenly coat.
- Finally coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs into the zucchini so that it sticks.
- Arrange the coated zucchini sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray the top with cooking spray. Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes (time may vary depending on your air fryer). Flip halfway through and spray again with cooking spray. The coating should be a golden color and nice and crispy on the outside. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce like marinara or ranch dressing.
Notes
- Make sure to dry the zucchini pieces before coating in flour. This will make the crust extra crispy while the center is tender.
