Ingredients
  • 3-4 large zucchini, trim the ends, halve and cut into ½-inch strips
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup bread crumbs, panko or Italian or mixture of both
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and spray with non-stick oil spray. Set aside. If using an air-fryer, set to "air fry" and press Start.
  2. Meanwhile, combine eggs in a small shallow bowl and set aside. Combine the breadcrumbs, ground flaxseed, parmesan cheese, and garlic powder in a separate bowl and set aside.
  3. Dip zucchini strips into egg mixture then in the breadcrumb mixture and place on baking sheet or into the air-fryer. (Tip: use a fork to help lightly coat the zucchini in breadcrumbs without coating your fingers!) Repeat until all zucchini strips are coated with egg and breadcrumb mixture. This may take a couple of rounds if using an air-fryer depending on its size.
  4. Season zucchini strips with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and then drizzle or spray with olive oil.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or air fry for 20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden and crispy. Enjoy!
