Air Fryer Zucchini Fries
Enjoy the perfect blend of crispy and tender with these delicious air fryer zucchini fries.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 zucchinis medium in size
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 2 cup bread crumbs *or gluten free bread crumbs
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- ½ Tbsp onion powder
- ½ Tbsp paprika
- ½ Tbsp salt
- ½ cup shredded parmesan any cheese of choice
Instructions
- Get two medium-sized bowls out. Whisk egg wash in one. In the second bowl, add seasoning, and breadcrumbs and whisk together well.
- Slice zucchini into "fries" of equal size so they cook evenly. See the above photo for size reference. I like to cut them in half and then cut each half into fourths or thinner. Sprinkle them with corn starch and mix well.
- Line your air fryer basket with parchment to help prevent the batter from sticking. Dip one fry at a time into the egg wash, then into the breading for a crispy coating. Lay them close together but don't overcrowd your air fryer. Once all the zucchini sticks are laid out flat on a single layer in the air fryer, spritz with oil, sprinkle with cheese.
- Place zucchini fries in the air fryer at 350º for about 12-18 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the type of air fryer you have. If you have a small cylinder air fryer, you need to bake it in two batches.
- *If baking in the oven, bake on 375º for about 15- 20 minutes on a cooking sheet with parchment paper. Oven temps will vary so keep an eye.
Notes
*regular bread crumbs will also work
