Description

These easy and crispy air fryer zucchini fries are a healthier alternative to traditional fries. Lightly breaded, golden, and perfectly crisped, these fries are quick to prepare and made with minimal oil, making them a delicious snack or side dish for all ages.

Ingredients

2 medium zucchinis

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if preferred)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 egg, beaten

Olive oil spray (for air frying)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut the zucchinis into fries by slicing them lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick strips.
  3. In a shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and black pepper.
  4. Dip each zucchini strip into the beaten egg, coating it thoroughly, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
  5. Arrange the zucchini fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with olive oil.
  6. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time, until golden and crispy.
  7. Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  1. For extra flavor, you can mix some shredded mozzarella cheese into the breadcrumb coating.
  2. For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.
  3. If gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond flour.
  4. You can experiment with different herbs like thyme, basil, or parsley in place of oregano.
  5. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  6. Reheat by placing in the air fryer at 375°F for 5 minutes to restore crispiness.
