Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Zucchini (Crispy Breaded)
Crispy breaded air fryer zucchini rounds — golden and crunchy outside, tender inside, with almost no oil. They're the kind of veggie even kids ask for, and they make a great snack, side or dippable appetizer.
A simple flour-egg-breadcrumb coating crisps up beautifully in the air fryer. Serve with marinara or ranch for dunking.
Ingredients
Instructions
Set up breading
Put the flour in one dish, beaten eggs in another, and the breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper and garlic powder in a third.
Bread
Dredge each zucchini round in flour, dip in egg, then coat in the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing lightly.
Air fry
Arrange in a single layer, spray both sides with oil, and air fry at 375°F for about 12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
- Spray oil on top too — dry breadcrumbs won't brown.
- Keep the slices a uniform thickness so they crisp evenly.
- Serve right away; breaded zucchini softens as it sits.
