Air-fried zucchini fries are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried fries. Here’s a simple recipe for making crispy air-fried zucchini fries:
Ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized zucchinis
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (you can use regular or panko breadcrumbs)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer: Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for a few minutes.
- Prepare the zucchini: Wash the zucchinis and cut them into thin fry-like strips. Make sure they are of uniform size for even cooking.
- Prepare the coating: In a shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the zucchini: Dip each zucchini strip into the beaten eggs and then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the coating onto the zucchini to adhere.
- Arrange in the air fryer: Place the coated zucchini fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching to allow proper air circulation.
- Air fry: Cook the zucchini fries in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for about 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Once the zucchini fries are cooked to your liking, remove them from the air fryer and serve immediately. They’re great on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch.
Feel free to adjust the seasoning and coating according to your taste preferences. Enjoy your healthier, air-fried zucchini fries!
