Ingredients

2 zucchini large
1 egg
60 ml (1/4 cup) milk of choice
80 grams (2/3 cup) breadcrumbs also panko breadcrumbs
40 grams (1/3 cup) all purpose flour or preferred flour
4 tbsp Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasonings or mix of dry herbs
1/3 tsp garlic powder

Healthy Ranch Dip

120 grams (1/2 cup) Greek yogurt nonfat

1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried parsley
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Slice the zucchini in half, then half again, then into quarters.
Optional but recommended. After cutting into slices, pat dry the vegetable slices in a paper towel to remove the excess moisture.
Crack the egg in a medium bowl and quickly beaten with the milk.
In a separate shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs with flour, Parmesan cheese, seasonings, salt and pepper.
Dip a couple slices of zucchini in the egg wash and transfer to the breading. Using your hands, coat the zucchini on both sides. Line the zucchini slices on a plate or baking sheet and spray with oil spray. Repeat this process until all zucchini are coated.
Working in batches, place the zucchini fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for about 8 minutes, then flip and cook on the other side for 6 to 8 minutes more.

Notes
