Ingredients
- 1 Zucchini medium to large
- 1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Optional Seasonings
- 1/4 teaspoon Oregano or Italian Seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/8 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
Instructions
- Slice the zucchini into evenly sized slices. The thickness is really a personal preference, but I usually go somewhere between 1/4″ to 1/2″.
- Place the panko crumbs in a bowl. Add the Parmesan, salt, and pepper, along with the oregano, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Crack the eggs into a separate bowl. Use a fork to break the yolks and mix together the yolks and whites like you’re going to make scrambled eggs. (Just don’t cook them yet!)
- Place the flour in a third bowl.
- Dip a zucchini slice in the flour and shake off the excess flour. Next, dip the zucchini slice in the egg mixture and shake off excess egg.
- Add zucchini slice to a shallow bowl filled with parmesan and panko mixture. Using a small spoon, cover the top of the zucchini in bread crumbs/parmesan. Flip over and press to coat both sides evenly in the panko mixture.
- Place the zucchini slice on a tray. Repeat this process with remaining zucchini slices.
- Add coated slices to your air fryer basket in a single layer. If your air fryer model didn’t come with a basket (mine doesn’t), you may have to transfer them to a baking sheet that will fit in your air fryer before placing them in the air fryer.
- Lightly spray with a nonstick cooking oil spray. Flip over and spray the other side.
- Cook at 375 degrees for 6 minutes. Flip over and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve breaded zucchini slices promptly with a selection of dips. I like garlic aioli, marinara, and ranch sauce.
Notes
Delicious served with ranch dressing, marinara sauce or garlic aioli.
You can omit the parmesan cheese if you prefer.
