Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis fresh for crispy and tender fries
- 1 cup breadcrumbs for crunchy outside
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese adds salty, nutty flavor

Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F to get that golden crisp on your zucchini fries.
- Wash the zucchinis well and cut them into fry-shaped sticks, aiming for even sizes.
- Mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl to create the tasty crunch.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs well; they act like glue to your breading.
- Dip each zucchini stick first into the eggs, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Place the coated zucchini fries in a single layer inside the air fryer basket and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Air fry for about 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even crispiness.
- Remove fries when golden and crispy, then serve with your favorite dipping sauce while hot.
- Enjoy your crispy and tender air fryer zucchini fries!
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer to maintain crispiness, avoiding the microwave which makes fries soggy. For longer storage, freeze fries in a single layer then reheat directly from frozen for best texture.
