Ingredients
2 medium zucchini
2 large eggs
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
olive oil spray
Instructions
1. Wash and dry the zucchini, then slice into 1/4-inch rounds.
2. Pat the zucchini slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
3. In one bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
4. In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
5. Dip each zucchini slice into the egg, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture on both sides.
6. Arrange the coated slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
7. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray.
8. Air fry at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
9. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket, or the zucchini will steam instead of crisp.
