Ingredients
- 500 g (1lb) zucchini/courgette
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups Panko bread crumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
For the garlic aioli
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- 1-2 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Slice the zucchini into fries using a sharp knife.
- Place the flour in a shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Whisk the eggs in another bowl and add the panko and grated Parmesan cheese to a third bowl then season generously with salt, pepper and a teaspoon garlic powder.
- Coat the zucchini first in the flour, then dip into the egg and finally coat in the bread crumb mixture.
- To create a thicker breading, repeat the egg and breadcrumb step (you will likely need more eggs and breadcrumbs if you decide to double dip).
- Place the zucchini fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer and spray with olive oil spray.
- Air fry until the zucchini fries are crisp and golden on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Depending on the quantity you are making you might need to cook the zucchini in a few batches.
- Reheat all the cooked zucchini in the air fryer for another 4-5 minutes at 205ºC (or the hottest temperature your air fryer goes to) until hot throughout then serve.
- To make the garlic aioli, combine the mayonnaise, crushed garlic and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice in a small bowl and mix to combine. Serve with the zucchini fries.
