Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into thin rounds
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or almond flour for gluten-free option
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs or seasoned breadcrumb alternative
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional for extra flavor)
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil spray to enhance crispiness
Instructions
- Wash zucchinis thoroughly and slice into thin, even rounds about 1/8 inch thick.
- Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumb mixture combined with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each zucchini slice first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Lightly spray the breaded slices with cooking spray for extra crispness.
- Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap.
- Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness. Keep an eye towards the end to prevent burning.
Notes
- Use seasoned breadcrumbs or panko for added flavor and crunch.
- Lightly spray zucchini slices with oil to enhance crispiness without extra calories.
- Ensure slices are uniformly thin for even cooking.
- Avoid overcrowding the basket for best results.
