Scale
Zucchini:
- 3 small/medium zucchini (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Coating:
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese (for a vegan version, use nutritional yeast)
- 1 tablespoon white whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Trim: Trim off the ends of the zucchini and cut into quarters length-wise. Cut crosswise into 3/4-inch thick half-moons. Place in a mixing bowl.
- Toss: Drizzle zucchini with olive oil and toss to coat.
- Sprinkle: In a separate bowl, combine panko, Parmesan, flour, salt, onion powder, and pepper. Sprinkle mixture over zucchini and toss to coat evenly.

- Cook: Place half of the zucchini in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 7-9 minutes, shaking occasionally, until golden and tender. Repeat with remaining zucchini.
