Ingredients
1 medium zucchini, spiralized
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions
Spiralize the zucchini and transfer to a clean kitchen towel to blot dry.
In a shallow bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Working in batches, toss zucchini curls with the flour mixture until fully coated.
Spritz both sides of the coated curls with olive oil spray.
Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook at 390°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

Customize the coating with Italian seasoning or parmesan (dairy-free if needed).
