Zucchini Fries

Ingredients

Steps

1. 01Cut each zucchini in half crosswise, then cut each half into sticks about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Consistent sizing matters for even cooking.
2. 02Salt the sticks lightly and let them sit on a paper towel for 10 minutes. Zucchini is full of water. The salt draws it out so your breading sticks.
3. 03Pat the sticks dry. This step is worth your time.
4. 04Set up the station: flour, beaten eggs, panko mixed with parmesan and seasonings.
5. 05Dredge each stick in flour, then egg, then press firmly into the panko mixture.
6. 06Ready for the air fryer.

How to Air Fry It

1. 01Cut 2 medium zucchinis into 3-inch long sticks, about 1/2-inch thick.
2. 02Toss the zucchini sticks with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder.
3. 03Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
4. 04Arrange the zucchini fries in a single layer in the basket, working in batches if necessary.
5. 05Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until browned and tender.

Lightly spray the basket or tray before cooking.
