- 2 medium zucchinis, cut into fries - 1 cup breadcrumbs (whole wheat preferred) - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 2 teaspoons garlic powder - 1 teaspoon onion powder - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning - 1 large egg - 1 tablespoon olive oil - Salt and pepper to taste - Air fryer - Mixing bowls - Baking tray or plate for coating Start by rinsing the zucchinis under cool water. Cut them into fry-shaped pieces, about half an inch thick. Make sure they are all the same size. This step helps them cook evenly. In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until it looks uniform. This mix will give your fries a tasty crust. In another bowl, beat the egg. Then, mix in the olive oil until it blends well. This mixture acts as the glue for the zucchini fries. Dip each zucchini fry into the egg mixture. Let any extra egg drip off. Next, coat the fry in the breadcrumb mix. Make sure every fry is covered. Place them on a plate in a single layer. Now it’s time to preheat the air fryer. Set it to 400°F (200°C) and let it warm up for about five minutes. This helps the fries cook better. Arrange the coated zucchini fries in the air fryer basket.

Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, cut into fries (about 1/2 inch thick)

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat for added flavor)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 large egg

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini: Start by rinsing the zucchinis and cutting them into fry-shaped pieces. Make sure they're about the same thickness for even cooking.

    Make the Coating: In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

      Egg Mixture: In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in the olive oil until well combined. This will act as the binder for the fries.

        Coat the Fries: Dip each zucchini fry into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each fry is well-covered and place them in a single layer on a plate or baking tray.

          Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

            Air Fry the Zucchini Fries: Arrange the coated zucchini fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches if they don’t all fit. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

              Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the zucchini fries from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
