Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and slice the zucchinis into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
Place the all-purpose flour in another shallow dish.
Dredge each zucchini slice in flour to coat lightly, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to make the breadcrumbs stick.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches.
Lightly spray the tops of the zucchini slices with cooking spray.
Air fry the zucchini at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the zucchini from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
