Air Fryer Zucchini Fries: Crispy, Golden,
and Guilt-Free Snack
These Air
Fryer Zucchini Fries are your new favorite recipe if you crave fries yet want
the lighter version of it. They are crispy outside, tender inside, and simple
to whip up — the perfect treat to enjoy without feeling guilty after a busy
week or going to a casual get-together with friends. With your trusty Air
Fryer, they are crunchy and fried-like in texture without the oil and mess.
Ingredients (serving 2-3)
• 2 medium zucchinis, cut into sticks
• ½ cup breadcrumbs (go for panko for more
crunch)
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1-2 eggs, beaten
Instructions
1. Preheat Air Fryer
Preheat the Air Fryer to 200°C (400°F) for
about 3 minutes to make sure that all cooking is even with a crisp exterior.
2. Prepare the coating
In one bowl, whisk the eggs.
In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan
cheese, garlic powder, as well as salt and pepper.
Dip each zucchini stick into the egg wash
first, and then into the breadcrumb mixture with even coating.
3. Fry to perfection
Arrange the zucchini sticks in a single
layer in the basket of your Air Fryer.
Air fry for about 10–12 minutes or until
crisp and golden, shaking halfway through.
4. Serve and enjoy
Serve hot with any of your favorite dipping
sauce: marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli.
These zucchini fries are delicious on their
own or as a side dish for grilled chicken, burgers, or salads.
