Ingredients

10 ounces zucchini (approximately 1 large zucchini)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (the good stuff - not pre-grated in the plastic tub.)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 eggs , lightly beaten
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
Homemade ranch dip , for serving

Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F. Coat basket with nonstick cooking spray.
Cut zucchini into wedges (3 to 4-inches long by 1/2-inch thick)
Pat the zucchini with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture (this will help them crisp up more.)
Combine flour, Parmesan, and all the seasonings together in a shallow dish.
Stir together eggs and milk in another shallow dish.
Pour Panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
Dredge zucchini in the flour, then in the egg, and finally in the Panko, shaking off any excess.
Arrange some of the zucchini in the basket, in a single layer without overlapping or touching, and coat the tops with cooking spray.
Cook until golden, crispy and tender, anywhere from 8-12 minutes (depending on your air fryer.) Repeat with remaining zucchini.
Serve with Ranch Dip.
NOTE: All air fryers cook differently so keep an eye on the zucchini and use your best judgement when it comes to cook times. We highly suggest doing a test run with just a couple zucchini fries and then adjust the time/temp, if necessary.)
