Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 Tablespoon water
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare a breading station by combining the flour, salt, and pepper on a plate. Beat together the eggs and water in a bowl. On another plate, stir together the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375℉. Cut the ends off the zucchini, then cut it in half, then cut into wedges or sticks.
- Bread the zucchini by dredging it in the flour, dipping it in the egg mixture, and then coating it with the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with the remaining zucchini.
- Spray the air fryer basket and the breaded zucchini with cooking spray, then place them in the air fryer basket, in a single layer, leaving a little space between each piece. Cook for 7-8 minutes, shaking the basket every few minutes, until lightly browned.
