Creating Low-Calorie Air Fryer Zucchini Parmesan is straightforward. Follow these easy steps to bring this dish to life:

1. Prepare the Zucchini: Wash and slice the zucchinis into ½ inch thick rounds.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to ensure even coating.
3. Coat the Zucchini: If using olive oil, lightly brush the zucchini slices with it. This helps the crumb mixture stick better.
4. Dredge the Zucchini: Dip each zucchini round into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are well coated on all sides.
5. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.
6. Arrange the Zucchini: Place the coated zucchini slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking.
7. Air Fry: Cook the zucchini for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are golden brown and crispy.
8. Check for Doneness: They should be tender on the inside and have a crispy exterior. Adjust the cooking time based on your air fryer model for optimal results.
9. Serve Hot: Once cooked, remove the zucchini carefully and let them cool slightly before serving.

These steps ensure that you’ll achieve a delicious and crispy texture that enhances the flavors of each ingredient.
