Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese finely grated or powdered
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Trim the tops and bottoms off the zucchini, cut in half, then cut each half length-ways into four sticks [Note1].
- Mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, sea salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl, beat the egg in another bowl.
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F/ 200°C degrees.
- Working 1 piece at a time, evenly dip the zucchini in the egg mixture and then into the breadcrumb mixture to coat them evenly.
- When complete, place the breaded zucchini sticks on a plate until you are ready to cook.
- Place the zucchini fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Ensure they are not touching [Note 2]
- Air fry zucchini sticks for 7-10 minutes until they are golden and crispy. Flip the zucchini fries over halfway through the cooking time if required for your air fryer [Note 3].
Notes
- If you have a very large zucchini cut each quarter in half again.
- You may need to air fry the zucchini sticks in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Check your manual if you are unsure.
