Start by washing your zucchinis thoroughly. Slice off the ends, then cut them into long, even sticks.Pat the zucchini sticks dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crisp during air frying.In one bowl, beat the egg. In another, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.Dip each zucchini stick into the egg, letting the excess drip off. Then roll it in the breadcrumb mix until coated evenly.Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and preheat for about 5 minutes.Arrange the zucchini fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer and spray lightly with olive oil.Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and crispy.While cooking, combine mayonnaise with a squeeze of lime juice, dash of hot sauce, and a pinch of salt for the spicy mayo.Serve your crispy zucchini fries with the spicy mayo for dipping.
