Ingredients
- 1 zucchini
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cut zucchini into spirals using a spiralizer fitted with the large shredding blade.
- Place egg in a shallow dish. Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning in a large resealable plastic bag. Dip 1/2 of the spiralized zucchini in the beaten egg and then place in the bag to coat with bread crumb mixture.
- Spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray. Arrange breaded zucchini fries in the prepared basket, making sure to not overcrowd. Spray the tops with cooking spray.
- Cook until crispy, about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through cook time. Transfer fries to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat breading and cooking process with remaining zucchini spirals.
