Air Fryer Zucchini Fries

Zucchini fries are a trendy replacement for the traditional french fry. While most would try to salt zucchini to help remove excess moisture, I found it caused my zucchini fries to burn. I used a spiralizer fitted to my Kitchenaid® and used the larger spiralizer plate.

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup melted butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• freshly ground black pepper to taste
• ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1 large zucchini, ends trimmed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cut zucchini into two or three 3-inch pieces, then spiralize each piece.

Step 2

Whip egg in a shallow bowl until foamy. Carefully pour melted butter into egg and whip until blended.

Step 3

Combine flour, oregano, garlic powder, and pepper in a second shallow bowl. Stir together panko bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a third bowl.

Step 4

Dredge zucchini spirals in seasoned flour mixture, shaking off excess flour. Dip spirals in egg wash, allowing excess wash to drip off, and then dredge spirals in Parmesan-bread crumbs. Place on a clean sheet pan.

Step 5

Set air fryer temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Set timer for 12 minutes. Transfer breaded zucchini fries into the air fryer basket in batches without crowding. Cook until crispy, about 12 minutes. Serve immediately.
