Air Fryer Zucchini Fries
Crispy, tender Air Fryer Zucchini Fries make a quick, guilt-free snack ready in under 20 minutes, perfect for dipping.
Ingredients
Veggies
- 2 medium zucchini Washed and cut into fries
Breading
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Spices
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- to taste Salt and pepper
Wet ingredients & oil
- 2 large eggs Whisked
- 1 tablespoon olive oil Added to egg mixture
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash the zucchini and cut them into fries or sticks about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs and add the olive oil to create a cohesive mixture.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Cooking
- Dunk each zucchini fry first into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Arrange the coated fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket (work in batches if needed).
- Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and serve immediately with fresh herbs or your favorite dip.
Notes
Pat zucchini dry to remove excess moisture for crisp coatings. Don’t crowd the basket to allow even browning. For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs and press firmly when coating. Serve with marinara, ranch, or lemon-garlic aioli.
