Crispy Air Fryer Zucchini
Quick and easy air fryer zucchini with parmesan is extra crispy, tossed with buttery seasoned breadcrumbs and plenty of grated cheese. It's an easy side that's ready in 15 minutes or less!
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons Panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons finely shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
- Slice the ends off of the zucchini and slice the zucchini in half lengthwise. Then slice each half in half again. Slice the zucchini spears into 1 inch pieces.
- Place zucchini pieces in a medium size bowl. Pour olive oil on top of the zucchini and toss to coat.
- Then add the garlic powder, salt, pepper, breadcrumbs and parmesans cheese. Toss everything together one last time.
- Place zucchini in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 minutes at 400°F. Halfway through cooking, give the air fryer basket a good shake (or stir the zucchini with a spatula).
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Storage:
- Fridge: Keep in mind that this recipe is best enjoyed immediately, but leftovers can be stored for later. If stored properly in an airtight container in the fridge, this zucchini will stay fresh for about 3 days.
- Reheat: To reheat it, pop it right back into the air fryer. Avoid the microwave, as it’ll just end up zapping the crunchy consistency right out of the leftover zucchini.
- Freeze: We don't recommend freezing any leftovers of this zucchini. The breadcrumbs/parmesan combo will become very soggy once thawed and never crisp up again.
