Air Fryer Curly Zucchini Fries
Description
These zucchini curly fries with cheesy panko crumbs are a great substitute for regular French fries especially when cooked in the air fryer.
Ingredients
•
1 large zucchini, ends trimmed
•
1 egg
•
1/4 cup melted butter
•
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
•
1 teaspoon dried oregano
•
1 teaspoon garlic powder
•
freshly ground black pepper to taste
•
1 cup panko bread crumbs
•
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
1
Cut zucchini into two or three 3-inch pieces, then spiralize each piece.
2
Whip egg in a shallow bowl until foamy. Carefully pour melted butter into egg and whip until blended.
3
Combine flour, oregano, garlic powder, and pepper in a second shallow bowl. Stir together panko bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a third bowl.
4
Dredge zucchini spirals in seasoned flour mixture, shaking off excess flour. Dip spirals in egg wash, allowing excess wash to drip off, and then dredge spirals in Parmesan-bread crumbs. Place on a clean sheet pan.
5
Set air fryer temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Set timer for 12 minutes. Transfer breaded zucchini fries into the air fryer basket in batches without crowding. Cook until crispy, about 12 minutes. Serve immediately.
