- 1 egg, beaten
- Cooking spray (optional)
Instructions

- Dip each zucchini stick in the beaten egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Place zucchini fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Lightly spray with oil if desired.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
