Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and lightly spray the basket with olive oil spray.
- Trim the zucchini and cut into 3 inch long fry-shaped sticks, about finger thickness, and set aside.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning until evenly combined.
- In a second bowl, beat the eggs until completely smooth.
- In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese, breaking up any clumps.
- Working in batches, coat each zucchini fry in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess.
- Dip the floured zucchini into the beaten eggs, letting excess egg drip off.
- Press each zucchini fry into the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture until well coated on all sides.
- Arrange the coated zucchini fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between pieces, and lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray.
- Air fry at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through cooking, until golden brown and crisp on the outside and tender inside.
- Transfer the cooked zucchini fries to a serving plate and repeat with any remaining fries, then serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For lower carbs, you can replace the flour with almond flour or coconut flour and use a low carb breadcrumb alternative.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in 2 batches if needed for the crispiest fries.
- Zucchini can be swapped with eggplant sticks or whole green beans; adjust cooking time slightly until crisp and tender.
- These fries are best served immediately but can be reheated in the air fryer at 375°F for 3 to 4 minutes to re-crisp.
