Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large egg, beaten
- ½ cup almond flour or panko/Italian breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or seasoning of choice
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- Oil for spraying (olive oil or oil of choice)
Directions:
- Start by cutting the zucchini in half lengthwise and then into sticks, resembling fries. Aim for pieces that are about 1/2 inch thick and 3-4 inches long.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour (or breadcrumbs), grated parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix the ingredients together until well combined.
- Dip each zucchini stick into the beaten egg, making sure it is fully coated. Then, roll the zucchini stick in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks. Place the coated zucchini sticks on a plate or baking sheet.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Working in batches, arrange the zucchini fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they have enough space between them for proper crisping.
- Spray the zucchini fries generously with cooking spray, such as olive oil or your preferred oil.
- Cook the zucchini fries in the air fryer for approximately 10 minutes or until they become crispy and golden brown. You may need to adjust the cooking time slightly based on the thickness of your fries and the efficiency of your air fryer.
- Once cooked, remove the zucchini fries from the air fryer and serve immediately as a delicious side dish or a satisfying snack.
