Ingredients

Instructions

  • Wash and dry the zucchini. Trim off the top and slice the zucchini in half shortways. Slice longways into skinny pieces that resemble sticks.
  • In a medium sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cornmeal. In a second medium sized bowl, combine the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, panko breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese. In a third medium sized bowl, mix together the milk and egg until smooth.
  • Working in batches, coat the zucchini sticks in the flour and cornmeal mixture, then dredge in the milk and egg wash. Coat the dredged zucchini in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil, then add zucchini in one layer spread out so it is not touching. Spray breaded zucchini with a generous amount of cooking oil.
  • Air fry at 400°F/204°C for 8-10 minutes, until zucchini fries are golden brown. Do not turn halfway through. Remove from the basket carefully using tongs. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Oven Baking

  • Follow steps 1-3 above. Place the breaded zucchini on a baking sheet (but preferably on a crisping tray) and spray generously with cooking oil.
  • Bake at 425°F for 15-20 minutes, or until the breading becomes golden brown. Remove carefully with tongs and serve.
