- In one shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, mix together the Parmesan, bread crumbs, dried herbs, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Take each zucchini wedge, dip it in the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated, and then dredge it in the Parmesan and bread crumb mixture.

- Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes. After 5 minutes of cooking, carefully turn the zucchini fries and continue cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
- Serve the zucchini fries warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
