Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons almond milk
- cooking spray
Instructions
Begin by washing the zucchini thoroughly and drying them with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds to ensure they cook evenly.
In a shallow bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried Italian herbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to blend all the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, beat the egg and add almond milk. Whisk together until completely combined.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Dip each zucchini slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, and then press it into the breadcrumb mixture. Gently shake off any excess crumbs and set the coated slice on a tray. Repeat the process for all the zucchini slices.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the zucchini slices in a single layer in the preheated air fryer. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
Lightly spray the tops of the zucchini slices with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
Air fry the zucchini for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Once cooked, carefully remove the zucchini from the air fryer and serve immediately, alone or with your favorite dipping sauce.
