Ingredients
Zucchini: 2 medium-sized, cut into 3-inch sticks.
Egg: 1 large, beaten (to help the breading stick).
Breadcrumbs (or Almond Flour for Keto): 1/2 cup.
Parmesan Cheese: 1/4 cup, finely grated.
Italian Seasoning: 1 teaspoon.
Garlic Powder: 1/2 teaspoon.
Salt & Pepper: To taste.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Zucchini Wash the zucchini and cut them into sticks (fries shape). Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture; this ensures they get extra crispy.
Step 2: Coating Station In one bowl, beat the egg. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs (or almond flour), parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Step 3: Bread the Fries Dip each zucchini stick into the egg, then coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently so the coating sticks well.
Step 4: Air Fry Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (190°C). Arrange the fries in a single layer in the basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Serve Serve immediately while hot with your favorite dipping sauce like marinara, ranch, or a simple Greek yogurt dip.
