Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch thick coins

3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat or Panko for extra crunch)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini: Wash and slice the zucchinis into 1/4-inch thick coins. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which will help them crisp up in the air fryer.

    Make the Coating Mixture: In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

      Prepare the Egg Wash: In another shallow bowl, beat the two eggs until well whipped.

        Coat the Zucchini Coins: Dip each zucchini coin first into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, ensuring it's evenly covered. Repeat until all coins are coated.

          Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

            Arrange the Zucchini Coins: Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray. Arrange the zucchini coins in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

              Air Fry the Coins: Spray the tops of the zucchini coins lightly with cooking spray. Cook in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once done, carefully remove the zucchini coins from the air fryer, and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Serve immediately with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra flavor kick!
