Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 2 (8 ounce) zucchini, cut into french-fry-sized sticks

  • salt as needed

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • 1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • nonstick cooking spray

  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce for dipping (optional)

Directions

  1. Place zucchini fries in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 5 minutes. Blot dry with paper towels.

  2. Place beaten egg in a shallow bowl. Stir bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together in a separate shallow bowl.

  3. Dip each fry in beaten egg, then dip in breadcrumb mixture to coat. Place fries on a plate.

  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 2 minutes.

  5. Place fries in the basket of the air fryer in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Lightly spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray.

  6. Cook until browned to your taste, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining fries.
