Ingredients

2 medium zucchini
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup Panko breadcrumbs*
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
olive oil spray or other oil spray such as canola or coconut oil

Instructions

Trim off the ends of the zucchini. Cut each zucchini in half crosswise. Then slice zucchini into ½-inch thick fries. (You do not need to peel the zucchini.)
To prepare the zucchini fries you will need 3 wide, shallow bowls, dishes or pie plates. In one dish, place the flour. In the second dish, lightly beat the eggs. In the third dish, stir together the Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Working with a few zucchini fries at a time, coat each one first in the flour, and gently tap off any excess flour. Then coat in the egg, making sure to fully coat all sides. Finally, coat each piece with the breadcrumb mixture.
Arrange fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space in between each fry for the air to circulate. (Cook in batches as needed.) Spray the tops of the fries with oil spray.
Air fry at 400° F for 10-12 minutes, until the outsides are browned and crispy and the insides are tender when pierced with a fork. You do not need to flip the fries. Serve immediately.

Notes

Regular breadcrumbs may also be used, but the zucchini fries will be slightly less crispy.
