Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut the zucchini into thin fry-shaped strips.
  3. In a bowl, stir together breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. In a second bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Coating
  1. Dip each zucchini strip into the beaten egg, then press into the breadcrumb mixture until well-coated.
  2. Place coated zucchini fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket and lightly spray with olive oil.
Cooking
  1. Air fry for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
  2. They are done when the coating is golden and crisp and the zucchini inside is tender.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately while hot for the best texture.

Notes

These zucchini fries are best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge and reheated in the air fryer. For optimal crispness, do not overcrowd the basket when cooking.
