Deliciously Crispy Air Fryer Zucchini Parmesan is a delightful snack or side dish that transforms zucchini into a golden, cheese-infused treat. Perfect for any occasion, it’s a healthier alternative to traditional fried zucchini.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
1. Slice the zucchinis into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
2. In one bowl, whisk the egg whites. In another bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and Italian seasoning.
3. Dip each zucchini slice into the egg whites, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.
4. Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with olive oil. Air fry at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
5. Savor the warm, crispy Air Fryer Zucchini Parmesan as a snack, side dish, or appetizer.
Notes
Choose medium-sized zucchinis that are firm and free of blemishes.
Ensure the air fryer is preheated to 400°F for optimal crispiness.
Thoroughly pat the zucchini slices dry before coating to prevent excess moisture.
Adjust cooking time based on thickness of zucchini slices and desired crispiness.
