Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini cut into 3 x 1/2" sticks
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Slice the zucchini into 3 inch sticks. Set aside.
    2 medium zucchini
  • Add the flour and seasonings to a large bowl then whisk together until evenly combined. Set aside.
    1/2 cup flour, 2 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper
  • In another bowl whisk the eggs and water together until evenly combined. Set aside.
    2 large eggs, 1 tbsp water
  • In a third bowl combine the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
    1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs, 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • Toss a couple zucchini sticks in the seasoned flour until evenly coated, shake off the excess, then dip in the egg mixture to evenly coat.
  • Transfer them to the crumb mixture and turn to evenly coat. Transfer to a waiting plate, then repeat for all of the zucchini sticks.
  • Spray the basket of your air fryer lightly with nonstick spray. Add zucchini fires to the basket, without any touching, in an even layer. It's ok to do this in two batches. Spray them again lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Cook at 385° for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  • Serve warm with dip of choice, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Unfortunately these do not freeze well due to the high water content of zucchini.
  • You can add extra seasoning if you like. A teaspoon of garlic powder  or Italian seasoning is delicious!
  • Make sure the fries are not overlapping in the air fryer. It’s better to divide the fries Into two separate batches instead so they cook evenly.
