    Zucchini Fritte (Air Fryer Zucchini)

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    If you've ever ordered Zucchini Fritte (aka Fried Zucchini) at a restaurant ... then you know how delicious it is! Did you know that you could make it at home annnnd in the air fryer instead?

    Making air fryer zucchini fritte at home is a healthier option to make at home because you are in control of how much (and what kind of oil is used) and you can make it gluten-free!

    Unlike the restaurant version, that are deep fried in oils.

    This zucchini fritte recipe only uses a touch of avocado oil spray.

    They are deliciously crispy and coated in a mix of bread crumbs (can sub gluten-free!) and parmesan cheese.

    What you dip the air fried zucchini in is up to you! I prefer to use ranch or you could go for a more italian flavor and dip in a warm marinara sauce.

    What you need:

    a tray of ingredients for air fryer zucchini, bread crumbs, egg, parmesan, and zucchini

    Fresh Zucchini - frozen zucchini won't work for this air fryer zucchini recipe due to the water content

    Grated and shredded parmesan

    Panko Bread Crumbs - you can use gluten-free bread crumbs if needed!

    Eggs

    Seasoning

    How to make Zucchini Fritte:

    1. Cut zucchini into spears and pat excess moisture dry with a towel.
    2. Prepare an egg wash bowl and a separate dry seasoning bowl.
    3. Dredge zucchini in egg wash and then bread crumb/ seasoning mix.
    4. Air fry zucchini and serve with favorite dip!
    Will Zucchini Fritte be crunchy in the air fryer?

    Air fryer zucchini fritte will be crunchy on the outside from the breading and soft on the inside.

    Can you overcook air fryer zucchini?

    Yes! Be sure to follow instructions and check the time. If you cook it too long it will become soggy.

    What do you eat with air fryer zucchini?

    Think of this as a french fry, but instead it's a vegetable! Air fryer zucchini is the perfect side to a burger or favorite protein source.

    Can you freeze air fryer zucchini?

    This will not freeze well, unfortunately! I will get too watery and soggy when you try to reheat it.

    How do I reheat zucchini fries?

    You can reheat them in the over at 350 degree Fahrenheit or in the air fryer.
