Ingredients
- 2 pieces medium zucchinis
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0 as needed olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Wash the zucchinis and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 3
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and water. In the third bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and ground black pepper.
Step 4
Dip each zucchini slice in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Finally, press it into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure both sides are coated.
Step 5
Repeat the process for all zucchini slices, placing them on a plate or tray in a single layer.
Step 6
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Place the breaded zucchini slices in the basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking; you may need to cook them in batches.
Step 7
Lightly spray the tops of the zucchini with olive oil spray to ensure they crisp up nicely.
Step 8
Air fry the zucchini at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove them from the air fryer and serve immediately. Enjoy them as is, or with your choice of dipping sauce.
