Air Fryer Zucchini Fries
Description
To make Air Fryer Zucchini Fries, medium zucchini are cut into fry-shaped pieces and seasoned first with a flour mixture containing salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Each piece is then dipped into beaten eggs followed by a coating of mixed breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese, ensuring a crispy and flavorful crust once cooked. The air fryer basket is coated with cooking spray oil, and the fries are arranged in a single layer, sprayed lightly again for added crispness.
They are cooked at 400°F for about 9 minutes, yielding a firm yet tender interior with a crunchy outer coating. The combination of Italian herbs and Parmesan produces a balanced savory profile. This method uses minimal oil compared to traditional frying.
These zucchini fries make a good side dish or snack, offering a vegetable-based option with a satisfying texture and seasoning. They can be paired with dips or served as a lighter appetizer.
