Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0 olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) while you prepare the ingredients.
Step 2
Wash the zucchinis and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 4
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
Step 5
Place the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese in a separate shallow dish and mix them together.
Step 6
Dredge each zucchini slice first in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the panko breadcrumb mixture.
Step 7
Place the coated zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 8
Lightly spray the tops of the zucchini slices with olive oil to enhance crispiness.
Step 9
Air fry the zucchini slices for 8-10 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Remove the slices from the air fryer and repeat the process with any remaining zucchini.
Step 11
Serve the crispy air fried zucchini slices hot, with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
