For extra crispy fries, consider double-dredging: dip in egg, then breadcrumbs, then egg again, then breadcrumbs one last time. Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model. Keep a close eye on the fries to prevent burning. Experiment with different seasonings! Add garlic powder, onion powder, or red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture for a flavor boost. For a healthier option, use whole wheat breadcrumbs or almond flour. Store leftover fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for best results.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrep the Zucchini: Place zucchini fries in a colander. Sprinkle generously with salt to draw out excess moisture. Let sit for 5 minutes. (Time: 5 minutes)
02
StepDry the Zucchini: Thoroughly blot the zucchini fries dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving maximum crispness. (Time: 2 minutes)
03
StepPrepare Breading Stations: Place the beaten egg in a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, combine the Italian seasoned bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. (Time: 2 minutes)
04
StepBread the Zucchini: Dip each zucchini fry into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Place the breaded fries on a clean plate. (Time: 10 minutes)
05
StepPreheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 2 minutes to ensure even cooking. (Time: 2 minutes)
06
StepAir Fry the Fries: Arrange the breaded zucchini fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd. You may need to work in batches. Lightly spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray. (Time: 3 minutes per batch)
07
StepCook to Perfection: Cook until the fries are golden brown and crispy to your liking, about 8 minutes. Flip halfway through for even browning. (Time: 8 minutes per batch)
08
StepServe Immediately: Transfer the crispy zucchini fries to a plate and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara. Repeat with remaining fries. (Time: 2 minutes)

May 21, 2025The key is really getting the zucchini dry. Mine weren't crispy enough the first time, but much better when I blotted them well.
