Zucchini sticks become way more munchable when they’re cooked under a crispy coating of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. The cheese adds plenty of savory flavor, so you’ll only need a pinch of salt. Make sure to use plain dry breadcrumbs; seasoned ones contain much more sodium and, as a result, taste too salty in this recipe. You’ll need to cook the zucchini in batches to ensure maximum crunch; for 2-quart or larger fryers, that should equal about 3 batches.
Ingrédients
Zucchini
12 oz, (about 1 large or 2 small)
Raw egg
1 large
Dried plain breadcrumbs
¼ cup(s)
Grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup(s)
Garlic powder
½ tsp(s)
Cayenne pepper
¼ tsp(s)
Kosher salt
1 pinch(es)
Cooking spray

Jarred fat-free marinara sauce

Instructions
1
Cut zucchini crosswise into 3-inch-long chunks. Cut each chunk lengthwise into ½-inch-thick slices, then cut each lengthwise into ½-inch strips to form 3 x ½-inch batons.
2
In a large bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add zucchini and toss gently to coat. In a shallow dish or large zip-top bag, combine breadcrumbs, cheese, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Remove zucchini from egg, allowing excess to drip off, and toss in breadcrumb mixture to coat.
3
Preheat air fryer, if necessary, to 400°F. Coat air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Arrange a single layer of zucchini batons in basket, leaving a little space between each. Coat zucchini batons with nonstick spray. Air-fry at 400°F until browned and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from air fryer and keep warm. Repeat process, in batches if necessary, with remaining zucchini. Serve with marinara sauce.
