Ingredients

×8
  • 2medium zucchini — cut into 1/2-inch batons
  • 1/3 cupall-purpose flour
  • 2eggs — beaten
  • 1 cupbreadcrumbs — panko or fine
  • 1/2 tspgarlic powder
  • 1/2 tspfine sea salt
  • 1/4 tspblack pepper
  • 2 tbspolive oil — for the crumbs

Method

  1. 01

    Cut the zucchini into even half-inch batons and blot them dry with a towel. Zucchini is mostly water, and surface moisture is the difference between crisp and limp.

  2. 02

    Set up three bowls: flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs tossed with the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Oiling the crumbs is what lets them brown in the dry heat.

  3. 03

    Dredge each baton in flour, then egg, then crumbs, pressing to coat. Lay them out so they're not touching.

  4. 04

    Air fry at 400°F for 12 minutes, flipping at 7, until golden and crisp. Eat them fast — like all zucchini, they soften as they sit.
