Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) or set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease the air fryer basket.

Wash the zucchini and trim the ends. Slice into sticks about ½ inch thick. Lay on a towel to remove excess moisture.

In a bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Dip each zucchini stick in the beaten eggs, then transfer to the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to help crumbs adhere.

Place coated zucchini fries in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Spray or drizzle with cooking spray or oil.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy. For air fryer, cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping once.

Remove from oven or air fryer and let cool for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with dipping sauces.
