Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 eggs beaten

- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare your air fryer basket by spraying it with olive oil.
- Cut ends off of zucchini and cut them in half. Slice them into thin sticks about 3-4 inches long and ½ inch thick.
- In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
- Beat eggs in a separate small bowl.
- Dip the wedges into the beaten egg and then coat them with the bread crumb mixture.
- Place breaded wedges in greased air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 350º Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes or until fries are golden brown.
- Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- To bake these zucchini fries in the oven instead of an air fryer, simply place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes at 425º Fahrenheit or until the zucchini fries are golden and crispy.
- Avoid peeling zucchini when slicing it to prevent it from becoming mushy when cooked.
- When selecting your zucchinis, choose small to medium-sized ones.
- If your panko isn't sticking to your zucchini, try coating your fries with flour before dipping them into the egg mixture.
