Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon olive oil

Cooking spray (for greasing the air fryer)

Instructions
 

Preparation of Zucchinis:

    Wash and dry the zucchinis. Cut off the ends, then slice each zucchini into sticks about 1/2 inch thick.

      Set Up Breading Stations:

        In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and olive oil until well combined. In another shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

          Coat the Zucchini Sticks:

            Dip each zucchini stick first into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Then transfer the stick to the breadcrumb mixture and roll it around until fully coated. Press gently to make sure the breadcrumbs adhere well. Repeat until all zucchini sticks are coated.

              Preheat the Air Fryer:

                Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

                  Arrange Zucchini Fries:

                    Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Carefully arrange the zucchini fries in a single layer, making sure they don't touch each other for optimal crispiness. You may need to work in batches depending on your air fryer's capacity.

                      Air Fry the Zucchini Fries:

                        Cook the zucchini fries in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. They should turn golden brown and crispy.

                          Serve and Enjoy:

                            Once done, carefully remove the zucchini fries from the air fryer. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch dressing.
