Ingredients

2 medium zucchini cut into 3x1" fry shape
2 large eggs
1½ cups panko breadcrumbs
⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
Olive oil cooking spray

Instructions

Cut zucchini into 3x1"strips. Place on a paper towel lined baking sheet and sprinkle lightly with salt. Let sit for 10 minutes to allow excess moisture to escape.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg until foamy.In a shallow mixing bowl, combine the panko crumbs, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
Toss the zucchini fries in the egg mixture. Using a slotted spoon, remove the zucchini from the egg mixture and place in the panko mixture. Toss to coat.
Lay the breaded zucchini fries in a single layer on an air fryer tray or air fryer basket that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Leave space between each fry to allow hot air to circulate around the food.
Place tray in air fryer and cook for at 400 degrees F for 7 minutes. Remove tray and turn zucchini fries over. Return to the air fryer for 5 minutes, until breading has become golden brown.
