Step-by-Step Instructions for Low Calorie Air Fryer Zucchini Fries
  1. Begin by preparing your coatings for the Low Calorie Air Fryer Zucchini Fries. In a large plate, thoroughly combine all-purpose flour with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Next, wash the zucchinis and slice them into fry-shapes, about 3 inches long and a half-inch thick. Aim for uniformity to ensure even cooking throughout.
  3. Now, coat each zucchini fry using the three-step process. Start by dipping a fry into the flour mixture, then into the whisked eggs, and finally roll in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
  4. Prepare your air fryer by lightly coating the basket with cooking oil. Arrange the coated zucchini fries in a single layer and give a quick spray of cooking oil over the top.
  5. Set the air fryer temperature to 400°F and cook for about 9 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy. Add extra minutes for crunchiness if desired.
  6. Once crispy and golden, remove the fries from the air fryer and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
