Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, cut into rounds

1 cup bread crumbs (preferably Panko for additional crunch)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 large eggs

2 tbsp olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes while you get the zucchini ready.

    In a mixing bowl, blend the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to ensure that the spices are well combined.

      In a separate bowl, whisk the two eggs until they are fully incorporated. Next, add the olive oil to the eggs and mix again to create a delicious binding mixture.

        Take each zucchini round and first dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated. Then, move it to the breadcrumb mixture and press gently to make sure the crumbs stick well to the zucchini.

          Arrange the coated zucchini bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding; you might need to do this in multiple batches.

            Air fry the zucchini bites for approximately 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and crunchy. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to promote even baking.

              When finished, carefully take the zucchini bites out of the air fryer and place them on a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor.

                Serve these warm and savor your crispy garlic Parmesan zucchini bites alongside marinara sauce or your preferred dipping sauce!
