Breaded courgettes in Air fryer

Enjoy this recipe on how to make Breaded courgettes in an air fryer. Breaded courgettes make a perfect snack or an amazing side dish.

Ingredients

• 2 medium courgettes
• 1 cup flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Olive oil spray

Steps

1. Wash and cut the courgettes into slices about 1 cm thick. It is not necessary to peel them.
2. Prepare three deep plates. In one put the flour, in another beat the eggs and in the last one mix the breadcrumbs with the salt, pepper and garlic powder.
3. Then dredge the courgette slices in the flour, making sure they are well coated. Shake off the excess.
4. Dip the floured slices into the beaten eggs. Let the excess egg drip back into the dish.
5. Finally, coat the slices in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly so that it sticks well.
6. Prepare the air fryer. Spray with a little olive oil spray and place the breaded courgette slices in a single layer, without touching each other. If necessary, do this in several batches.
7. Spray the tops of the slices with a little more olive oil and set the fryer to 200° for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Halfway through cooking, turn them over so they brown evenly.
Once cooked, let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy them hot, on their own or with your favourite sauce.
