The Best Air Fryer Zucchini Fries!
Garden overflowing with zucchini? We have the perfect zucchini recipe for you to make in your air fryer — air fryer zucchini fries! These come out so crunchy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside (NEVER MUSHY!) and the best part is– they are so nutritious! They’re made with zucchini sticks and a yummy parmesan + panko breadcrumb topping. Serve them next to air fryer chicken nuggets or a juicy turkey burger and you’ve got yourself a delicious meal.
Featured Ingredients
Zucchini: we love how gardens explode with zucchinis in the summer. Pop outside and grab 2 big ones! Panko breadcrumbs: panko is what gives these zucchini fries extra crunch! Grated parmesan cheese: we love the addition of grated parmesan cheese. It adds salt and cheesiness. Everything bagel seasoning: talk about a flavor blast! You can make your own homemade everything bagel seasoning or buy it from the store. Egg: egg is what allows the panko and parmesan to stick to the raw zucchini. Olive oil: a drizzle of olive oil really crisps up your air fryer zucchini fries!
How to Make Zucchini Fries in Air Fryer
Top Tips
Uniform fries: make sure to cut your zucchini fries uniformly so that they’re all around the same size. This will make sure they cook at the same rate. Easy to Make Vegetarian Healthy Zucchini Double dredge: we recommend a double dredge. Dip the fries into the egg was and then dredge in the panko mixture and then do it one more time. This will make sure your zucchini fries are extra crunchy! Cook until golden brown: air fry your zucchini fries for around 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. Ours took 8 minutes and came out crunchy on the outside and inside (not overdone at all!).

Storage
While we recommend eating these fries immediately, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat: reheat in the microwave on high for 60-90 seconds.
