Crispy Air Fryer Zucchini Fries are a quick, healthy snack with a golden, cheesy crust and tender center — perfect for busy weeknights or game-day munching.
Ingredients
Veggies
- 2 medium zucchinis, trimmed and cut into sticks
Coating
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (or almond flour for a gluten-free option)
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese Can be adjusted to taste
Binders
- 2 pcs eggs, beaten
Spices
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- to taste salt and pepper
Finishing
- as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray the basket so fries don’t stick.
- Cut the zucchinis into fries or sticks about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick. Pat dry with a towel.
- Whisk the 2 eggs in one bowl; in another bowl combine breadcrumbs, parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Coating and Cooking
- Dip each zucchini stick into the egg, then press into the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly.
- Arrange coated zucchini in a single layer in the air fryer basket, spray lightly with cooking spray, and cook 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway until golden and crispy.
Notes
For extra crisping tips, consider double-coating the zucchini or using a little extra cooking spray. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the air fryer for best texture.
