Air fry zucchini bites

Ingredients:

• 2 medium zucchinis
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 large eggs
• Olive oil spray

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchinis and cut them into bite-sized pieces (about 1/2-inch thick rounds or sticks).
3. Set Up Breading Stations:
   • In one bowl, beat the eggs.
   • In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Bread the Zucchini:
   • Dip each zucchini piece into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
   • Then, coat the zucchini in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the breadcrumbs stick.
5. Air Fry the Zucchini:
   • Place the breaded zucchini pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Be careful not to overcrowd them; you may need to cook them in batches.
   • Lightly spray the zucchini with olive oil spray to help them crisp up.
6. Cook: Air fry the zucchini at 400°F (200°C) for about 10-12 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
7. Serve: Remove the zucchini bites from the air fryer and serve them immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli.
