Breaded Zucchini Sticks Recipes

BAKED PANKO-BREADED ZUCCHINI FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Season zucchini pieces with salt.
• Mix panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning in a bowl.
• Dip zucchini pieces into the beaten eggs and then press into bread crumbs to coat; gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Arrange breaded zucchini onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
• Bake zucchini in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

CRISPY BREADED AIR FRYER ZUCCHINI STICKS

Steps:

• Cut the zucchini into sticks about 2½" long by ½" wide.
• In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper.
• In another shallow bowl, beat the egg.
• In a third shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and garlic powder.
• Lightly dredge each zucchini stick in the flour mixture, tapping gently to remove any excess flour.
• Then dip each zucchini stick into the beaten egg, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
• Then dip each zucchini stick into the breadcrumb mixture, gently pressing to help the breadcrumbs adhere. See note below about dividing the breadcrumbs in half and doing this step in two batches.
• Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.Note: If your air fryer doesn't have a preheat cycle, just turn it on to 400°F and let it heat up for 5 minutes.
• Working in batches (I need to do 2 batches in my air fryer), place the zucchini sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them to allow the air to circulate properly around them.
• Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes or until browned and crispy, flipping once and lightly spraying the other side of the sticks with oil halfway through the cooking time.
• As soon as they are done, lightly sprinkle with salt, if desired.
• Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (marinara and ranch are my favorites!).
