Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs (I used Italian breadcrumbs)
  • tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2-3 zucchini (sliced into ½ inch rounds and then cut each piece in half to make half circles)

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 400°F (if your model has this option).
  • in a medium bowl, add grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
  • Toss sliced zucchini in olive oil and then add to bowl with seasonings and toss to coat, ensuring each piece is coated evenly.
  • Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or spray lightly with cooking spray.
  • Working in batches, add zucchini slices to the bottom of basket, making sure not to overlap pieces. Cook for 4 minutes, remove basket and flip each slice, and then cook for another 4 minutes, or until crisp and lightly browned. Repeat with rest of slices. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store leftover zucchini in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • To reheat leftovers, add zucchini slices to air fryer basket and cook for 5-7 minutes at 400°F.
