Description

Summer’s snack game just leveled up with these guilt-free, crispy Air Fryer Zucchini Fries—golden, cheesy, and oh-so-craveable without the oil overload!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium zucchinis
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup flour (all-purpose or almond flour)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or Italian-style)
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp oil spray

Instructions

  1. Slice zucchini into 3-inch sticks and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  2. Set up three bowls: one with flour, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning; another with beaten eggs; and a third with breadcrumbs and Parmesan.
  3. Coat each zucchini stick: first in flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mix.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 400°F and spray the basket with oil.
  5. Arrange zucchini fries in a single layer, spray the tops lightly, and air fry for 9 minutes until golden and crispy.
  6. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish.

Notes

Pat your zucchini dry and don’t crowd the basket—these tips are key for max crispiness!
