Best 3 Air Fryer Zucchini Sticks Recipes

AIR FRYER ZUCCHINI CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) before you begin preparing the zucchini.
• Combine panko and Parmesan cheese on a plate. Dip 1 zucchini slice into beaten egg then into panko mixture, pressing to coat. Place zucchini slice on a wire baking rack and repeat with remaining slices. Lightly spray zucchini slices with cooking spray.
• Place as many zucchini slices in the air fryer basket as you can without overlapping them.
• Cook for 10 minutes. Flip with tongs. Cook for 2 minutes more. Remove from air fryer and repeat with remaining zucchini slices.

CRISPY BREADED AIR FRYER ZUCCHINI STICKS

Steps:

• Cut the zucchini into sticks about 2½" long by ½" wide.
• In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper.
• In another shallow bowl, beat the egg.
• In a third shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and garlic powder.
• Lightly dredge each zucchini stick in the flour mixture, tapping gently to remove any excess flour.
• Then dip each zucchini stick into the beaten egg, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
• Then dip each zucchini stick into the breadcrumb mixture, gently pressing to help the breadcrumbs adhere. See note below about dividing the breadcrumbs in half and doing this step in two batches.
• Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.Note: If your air fryer doesn't have a preheat cycle, just turn it on to 400°F and let it heat up for 5 minutes.
• Working in batches (I need to do 2 batches in my air fryer), place the zucchini sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them to allow the air to circulate properly around them.
• Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes or until browned and crispy, flipping once and lightly spraying the other side of the sticks with oil halfway through the cooking time.
• As soon as they are done, lightly sprinkle with salt, if desired.
• Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (marinara and ranch are my favorites!).
