1-Getting started: Begin by slicing the zucchini into even sticks to ensure they cook uniformly and come out crispy.

2-Coating the zucchini: Once sliced, coat the sticks in flour by placing them in a bag and shaking until they’re evenly covered, which helps the other coatings stick better.

3-Mixing the coating: In a bowl, mix together the panko crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt to create a flavorful coating.

4-Preparing the egg wash: In another small bowl, whisk the eggs and water to make an egg wash that binds everything.

5-Coating process: Dip the floured zucchini sticks into this egg mixture, then roll them in the panko blend, pressing gently to make sure it adheres well.

6-Preparing to air fry: Spray your air fryer basket with olive oil and arrange the coated sticks in a single layer, giving them space to crisp up.

7-Final touches: Lightly spray the tops with olive oil too for extra crunch.

8-Cooking: Cook everything at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 7 to 12 minutes until they’re golden and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through for even results.
