Love crispy baked zucchini but loathe turning on your oven in the peak of summer heat? Make this Air Fryer Zucchini instead! Pin this recipe on Pinterest to save for laterPin It! Pieces of zucchini tossed in a light Parmesan and panko breadcrumb coating, then air fried until crispy outside and tender inside, air fried zucchini is the lower maintenance cousin of Zucchini Fries.When you’re looking to cook vegetables with maximal crunch appeal in a healthy way, the air fryer is the appliance for the job.Be it Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts, Air Fryer Cauliflower, or Air Fryer Broccoli, the intense heat of the air fryer does a good job mimicking the delicious, deep-fried veggie experience.If you add a breading (like these Air Fryer Pickles), it does an even better job!One of the reasons I love making zucchini (aside from the obvious—we have a boatload of it), is that it requires very little prep work compared to other vegetables.
For example, to make Roasted Zucchini or Grilled Zucchini, it’s as easy as cutting the zucchini into spears.To continue the easy zucchini trajectory, rather than make air fried zucchini chips—which, while yummy, take longer to slice and have to be cooked in smaller batches—I opted to cut the zucchini into bite-sized pieces instead.It takes less time to prep the zucchini this way, and you can get away with adding more to the air fryer basket at a time.
Result: more crispy zucchini in less time.I like this math.How
