Sabrina’s Air Fryer Zucchini Recipe
Using the air fryer is an ideal cooking method if you like the flavor and texture of fried food but don’t want all the added oil. Zucchinis are the perfect option for this recipe because they have a fairly mild, slightly sweet flavor, and buttery consistency when cooked. Coating the zucchini in parmesan creates a delicious blend of flavors, with a sharp, nutty flavor. The breadcrumb coating keeps the chips nice and crisp rather than letting them soften too much. They make an excellent addition to your party spread, to put out with other finger foods.
