Equipment

Ingredients

1 large zucchini or 3 medium
2 eggs whisked
2 cups cornflakes or panko
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 light spray of oil

Instructions

Cut the ends off the zucchini, then cut it in half down the middle and in half again lengthwise. From there, cut it lengthwise into 1/2-inch sticks.
Add the cornflakes to a large Ziploc bag, seal it, and crush them into a fine consistency with the back of a measuring cup or a rolling pin. Add the crushed cornflakes to a shallow bowl.
Add the Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, and oregano to the bowl and mix well.
Whisk two eggs in a separate shallow bowl.
Dip the zucchini sticks in the egg, then press them into the cornflake mixture, using your fingers to help the coating stick.
Add the zucchini sticks to the air fryer in a single layer, lightly spray with oil, and air fry in batches so you don't overcrowd the basket.
Air fry at 400°F for 6-10 minutes, shaking the basket a few times so they cook evenly. You'll know they're done when they're crispy and golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batches, then enjoy warm with your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

Baking Option: Place the zucchini fries on a baking sheet and lightly spray them with oil. Then, bake them at 400°F for 18-22 minutes. Make sure to check on them so they don’t burn and you can carefully move them around a few times with a spatula to ensure they cook evenly.
Cut Evenly: Make sure to cut the zucchini into even sticks. Even-sized pieces will ensure the zucchini fries cook at the same rate.
Cornflakes: If you don’t have cornflakes, substitute them for panko breadcrumbs.
