Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
0 mins

Using a spiralizer fitted with the large shredding blade, transform the zucchini into beautiful spirals.

03

Step
0 mins

Prepare your breading station: In a shallow dish, place the beaten egg. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Ensure even mixing for consistent flavor.

04

Step
0 mins

Working in batches, dip half of the spiralized zucchini in the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, transfer the zucchini to the bag containing the bread crumb mixture. Seal the bag and gently shake to coat thoroughly. Repeat with remaining zucchini.

05

Step
10 mins

Lightly spray the basket of the air fryer with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the breaded zucchini fries in a single layer in the prepared basket, being careful not to overcrowd. Spray the tops with a light coating of cooking spray for enhanced crispness.

06

Step
0 mins

Air fry for approximately 10 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and irresistibly crispy.

07

Step
0 mins

Transfer the cooked zucchini fries to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Repeat the breading and cooking process with any remaining zucchini spirals.

For even crispier fries, consider double-breading the zucchini.
Experiment with different seasonings! Garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika can add a unique twist.
Serve immediately for the best texture. These fries are delicious with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, marinara sauce, or a creamy aioli.

    My zucchini was a little watery, so I sprinkled some salt on the spirals and let them sit for a few minutes to draw out the moisture before breading. Worked like a charm!

  • Paxton Goodwin

    I found that spraying the fries with a little olive oil instead of cooking spray made them even crispier.

  • Sabina Blanda

    I added some red pepper flakes to the bread crumb mixture for a little kick. Delicious!

  • Zella Okon

    These were a huge hit with my kids! They didn't even realize they were eating zucchini.

  • Kellen Hermann

    The key is definitely not overcrowding the air fryer. I had to do two batches, but it was worth it.

  • Donald Moore

    These are so much better than regular fries! I'm definitely making these again.

  • Donny Keebler

    So easy and quick to make. Perfect for a healthy snack or side dish.

  • Mackenzie Dickens
