A delightful crunch and vibrant flavor make this air-fried yellow squash an excellent side dish or snack, packed with vitamins and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium yellow squash
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash the yellow squash thoroughly. Cut off both ends, then slice the squash into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
- In one bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
- Dip each squash slice into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat the slice in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the coated squash slices in a single layer in the basket.
- Cook the squash for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Repeat with any remaining squash, making sure not to overcrowd the basket.
- Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes
For best results, double dip in egg and breadcrumbs for a crispy texture. Adjust seasoning as desired. Allow cooked squash to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
