Ingredients

2 medium zucchini cubed
1/3 cup whole wheat bread crumbs about 1/2 slice toasted bread
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika or harissa seasoning
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons avocado oil

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
Slice and cube the zucchini.
Mix the bread crumbs, garlic powder, paprika (or harissa seasoning), oregano, and salt together in a small bowl.
Coat the cubed zucchini with avocado oil, then mix into the seasoning mixture until evenly coated.
Place a single layer of the zucchini in the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 8-10 minutes (depending how crispy you want them), flipping halfway.
Repeat with a second batch if necessary.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Tips:

Make sure that the bread crumbs are finely ground (instead of big or uneven pieces).
In addition to flipping halfway through the cook time, it may be a good idea to flip it a few extra times through the process. If so, be sure to add an extra minute or two to the overall time since the air fryer would lose a little heat every time the lid is opened!
This recipe is best served fresh, but it can be refrigerated and reheated for a few minutes in the air fryer if needed.
