Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Zucchini Fries.
Step 1
Start by preheating your air fryer to a sizzling 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for those delicious zucchini fries.
Step 2
While it warms up, grab your zucchini and slice it into two or three pieces, each about 3 inches long.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to spiralize those pieces into thin, fun strands that will make your fries extra crispy and delightful.
Step 4
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until it’s nice and frothy, then slowly mix in the melted butter until everything is well blended.
Step 5
In another shallow bowl, combine flour with dried oregano, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper for a flavorful kick.
Step 6
For the final touch, mix panko breadcrumbs with freshly grated Parmesan cheese in a third bowl, creating a cheesy, crunchy coating.
Step 7
Now, take those zucchini spirals and first dredge them in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 8
Next, dip them into the egg wash, letting any extra drip off before rolling them in the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture for that perfect crunch.
Step 9
Once all your zucchini fries are coated, lay them out on a clean sheet pan, making sure they have enough space to breathe and crisp up.
Step 10
Carefully transfer the breaded zucchini fries to the air fryer basket, cooking them in batches if needed.
Step 11
Let them cook for about 12 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and are irresistibly crispy.
Step 12
When they’re done, serve them up hot and enjoy the delightful crunch of your homemade zucchini fries!.
