Instructions
- Trim the ends from the zucchini and cut into quarters lengthwise.
- Whisk together egg and milk in one shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, italian seasoning, and garlic powder in another shallow bowl, and place flour in the third shallow bowl.
- Toss 2-3 zucchini fries in the flour (making sure to shake off any excess) and then dip in the egg wash. Using a fork, pick up the zucchini to let the extra egg wash drip off. Finally, coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing it in to make sure it sticks. Repeat with the remaining zucchini strips.
- Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 380 degrees for at least 3 minutes. Place the zucchini fries in a single layer, paying careful attention that they do not touch. (Depending on the size of your air fryer basket, you may need to do this in 2 batches.)
- Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the fries are tender and cooked through. Flip over after 6 minutes to ensure they cook up evenly.
- Serve with marinara sauce or a homemade ranch dressing and enjoy!
Notes
- Italian Seasoning: This homemade seasoning mix was used when testing the recipe. It does not contain any salt, so if you substitute with a store-bought mix that has salt, you will need to adjust the amount of salt you use accordingly.
- Breadcrumbs: Use regular and avoid using Panko- they will be too thick and won't coat the fries completely.
- Squash: You can substitute yellow squash for the zucchini but you will end up with a slightly different taste and fries that are not perfectly symmetrical.
- Storage:This air fryer recipe is best enjoyed fresh, but you can save the leftover zucchini. Place extras in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
- Reheating: Pop fries back in the air fryer for a few minutes to heat them up and get a crispy outside
