Description
This air fryer zucchini recipe yields perfectly crispy, golden-brown bites that are easy to make and delicious.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into rounds
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (Panko recommended for extra crispiness)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

- In a shallow bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs.
- Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray.
- Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Spray the tops lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
- Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For added flavor, you can mix in Italian seasoning or cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.
