Za’atar Spiral Squash Fries

<strong>Za’atar Spiral Squash Fries</strong>

My garden is producing squash like crazy this year, so I have been experimenting with lots of new squash and zucchini recipes.  This is a simple side dish that tastes great and only takes a few minutes in the air fryer. 

Note: You can substitute an Italian Seasoning blend for Za’atar.

Ingredients:

1 squash cut into spirals

1 egg beaten

1 tablespoon za’atar spice blend

½ cup whole wheat panko breadcrumbs

¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese

Directions:

  1. Place squash spirals in a large bowl.  Drizzle with the beaten egg.  (I covered the bowl and shook it several times to coat all of the squash in the egg.)
  2. Mix panko, cheese, and za’atar spices in a small bowl. 
  3. Shake breadcrumb mixture over the squash spirals.  (Again I put the lid on the bowl and shook to distribute the breadcrumbs.)
  4. Spray air fryer basket with olive oil spray.
  5. Spread out the squash spirals in a flat layer. Spray with olive oil spray.
  6. Air fry at 370 for 8-10 minutes shaking the basket at least once.
  7. Enjoy!
