Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Garlic Parmesan Air Fryer Zucchini Bites
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. Slice the zucchini into ½-¾ inch disks and cut those disks in half to create half-moons.
  3. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the zucchini and toss gently until coated.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, flour, and garlic powder.
  5. Dip each zucchini slice into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
  6. Arrange the coated zucchini pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  7. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
