Ingredients
For the breaded version:
- 2 medium zucchini choose ones that are dark green and firm, ends trimmed
- 3 tablespoon panko breadcrumbs I used Ian's brand, gluten-free, plain or seasoned
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil high-heat oil, such as
- ¾ teaspoon Italian seasoning blend if using pre-seasoned breadcrumbs can reduce or omit; see NOTES, or Cajun spice
- several pinches of salt adjust if using seasoned/salted breadcrumbs
- several pinches of black pepper adjust if using seasoned/salted breadcrumbs
For the oil-free version:
- 2 medium zucchini ends trimmed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- rounded ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- several pinches of salt
- several pinches of black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. Wash and dry the zucchini. Cut in half length-wise, then cut each of those in half again so you have 4 long pieces. Line them up, and cut across, creating approx. ¾-inch bite-size pieces.
For breaded zucchini:
- In a large bowl combine the panko, oil, seasoning, and salt and pepper. Toss the chopped zucchini with the seasoned breadcrumb mixture.
- Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer and cook for 6 to 7 minutes or until golden and tender. Serve hot.
For oil-free zucchini:
- Toss the zucchini with lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer and cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until tender. Serve hot with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.
Notes
- Seasonings
- If using plain breadcrumbs, try Cajun seasoning instead of Italian for a spicy kick. There are no hard rules here! Don't be afraid to experiment and add a few pinches of any herbs and spices you enjoy.
- Storage
- Best served fresh, as with most air fryer dishes. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for several days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave.
