Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, cut into 1/4-inch thick fries

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

Olive oil spray

Instructions
 

Prep the Zucchini:

    - Start by washing the zucchinis thoroughly. Cut each zucchini into 1/4-inch thick fries.

      Set Up Breading Station:

        - In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

          Coat the Zucchini Fries:

            - Dip each zucchini fry into the flour, making sure to coat it evenly. Shake off excess flour.

              - Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.

                - Finally, dredge the fry into the breadcrumb and cheese mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres well.

                  Preheat the Air Fryer:

                    - Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy texture.

                      Air Fry the Zucchini Fries:

                        - Place the breaded zucchini fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.

                          - Lightly spray the fries with olive oil spray to promote browning.

                            - Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

                              Serve:

                                - Once cooked, remove the zucchini fries from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute. Serve hot, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce like marinara or ranch dressing.
