How To Make Air Fryer Zucchini
Cut up your zucchini into disc shapes around 1cm thick.
In a shallow bowl, mix together flour, water, salt, garlic powder and onion powder with a whisk or fork until smooth.
In a separate plate, spread out the bread crumbs. Start with 1 cup and add more later as needed.
Dip each piece of zucchini into the wet batter, then coat in the breadcrumbs. Repeat until every piece of zucchini is coated.
Place in the air fryer, the pieces not touching each other.
Spray air fryer with a little oil if desired (optional) and air fry at 370 degrees for around 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Let it cool for 5 minutes then enjoy with any dipping sauce or on its own.
