Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, sliced into ½-inch rounds

2 medium yellow squashes, sliced into ½-inch rounds

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

2 large eggs, beaten

2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.

    Prepare the Breading: In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

      Prepare the Squash: In another bowl, beat the eggs. Dip each slice of zucchini and yellow squash into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated, then press them into the breadcrumb mixture, evenly coating both sides.

        Drizzle with Olive Oil: Once all the squash slices are coated, drizzle them lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up in the air fryer.

          Arrange in Air Fryer Basket: Place the breaded squash slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. It's best to do this in batches if they don't all fit at once.

            Air Fry: Cook the squash for about 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even browning. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.

              Cool and Serve: Remove the crispy squash from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack!
