Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This ensures that the zucchini fries cook evenly and become crispy.

Wash the zucchini thoroughly and slice them into fry-shaped pieces, about 1/4 inch thick. This size helps them cook quickly and evenly.

In a mixing bowl, place the flour. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

This three-step breading process (flour, egg, breadcrumb) will help create a crispy coating on the zucchini fries.

Take each zucchini fry and first coat it in flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated. Finally, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the crumbs.

Repeat this process until all zucchini fries are coated. This method ensures that the fries have a nice crunch after cooking.

Arrange the breaded zucchini fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper air circulation.

Drizzle the fries lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up during cooking.

Cook the zucchini fries in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.

Once cooked, remove the zucchini fries from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch.
