In separate bowl, beat the egg.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pat Dry for Maximum Crispiness 💧
After cutting zucchini into fries, pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which prevents sogginess and ensures a perfectly crispy exterior in the air fryer.
Double-Dip the Coating 🥚
Dip zucchini fries in egg wash, then panko mixture, then egg again before the final panko layer to create an ultra-thick, crunchy coating that adheres beautifully during cooking.
Chill Before Air Frying ❄️
Refrigerate breaded zucchini fries for at least 30 minutes before air frying to help the coating set and adhere better, resulting in less breading loss and superior crunchiness.
Spray with Cooking Oil for Golden Results 🫒
Lightly mist the breaded fries with cooking spray before air frying to achieve a golden-brown exterior and enhance the crispy texture without deep frying.
Don't Overcrowd the Basket 🗑️
Arrange zucchini fries in a single layer with space between each piece to allow proper air circulation, ensuring even cooking and preventing steaming or uneven browning.
