Zucchini fries are a healthy and delicious snack or side dish that can be easily prepared in an air fryer. This recipe is a great way to enjoy the flavors and textures of crispy fries without the excess oil and calories. Here’s how to make zucchini fries in an air fryer:
Ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized zucchinis, sliced into thin strips
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions:
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. This will be the coating for your zucchini fries.
- Dip the zucchini strips into the beaten egg, then coat them in the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure to coat the zucchini strips evenly on all sides.
- Place the coated zucchini strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket as this will prevent the zucchini from cooking evenly.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the zucchini is crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on the zucchini as the cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the strips.
- Once the zucchini fries are cooked, remove them from the air fryer basket and place them on a serving plate. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce such as marinara or ranch.
