  • 0 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated USDA

  2. In a small flat bottom bowl, beat the egg.
  3. Cut the zucchini into fries (about 30 pieces no thicker than ½-inch). Dip zucchini pieces in egg, then coat in the chip coating. Place on a baking sheet and spray evenly with canola oil. 
  4. Heat air fryer to 390°F. Working in batches to make sure the air fryer is not overcrowded and there is a little space between each zucchini piece, air fry for 5 minutes, or until coating is browned and crispy. Gently remove and serve while warm. Each serving is 6 zucchini fries.

Cooking Tip

No Air Fryer? No problem. Bake in a 400°F oven for 15-20 minutes, turning once halfway through the cook time.
