Instead of french fries with my burgers and sandwiches, I love to serve these air-fryer zucchini fries. They're crispy, delicious and a wonderful way to use up the zucchini from my garden. —Matthew Hass, Ellison Bay, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Cooking spray

Directions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400°. Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise and then in half crosswise. Cut each piece lengthwise into 1/4-in. slices.
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs, cheese and seasonings. Place flour and eggs in separate shallow bowls. Dip zucchini slices in flour, then in egg and then in crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere.
  3. In batches, place zucchini on greased tray in air-fryer basket; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
Air-Fryer Zucchini Fries Tips

How can you make crispier air-fryer zucchini fries?

For crispy results, make sure to layer your fries in a single layer so they crisp up just right. Pat your zucchini fries dry before adding the coating, or after to remove excess coating, which prevents sogginess.

How else can you cook air-fryer zucchini fries?

If you don’t have an air fryer or simply don’t feel like getting it out, you can easily make these zucchini fries in your oven! Check out our crispy baked zucchini fries to see how easily you can make these in the oven for your next meal.

What can you serve with air-fryer zucchini fries?

You can’t have fries without a dip! Dunk these air-fryer zucchini fries in our homemade ranch dressing or marinara. For a little added kick, a spicy aioli or garlic aioli (like in this spicy potatoes with spicy aioli recipe) would do the trick. These fries make the perfect side to any hamburger of your choice.

How do you store air-fryer zucchini fries?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for about 2 to 3 days. Reheat them for a few minutes in the air fryer for best results.
