Equipment

Ingredients

1 yellow squash
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup flour
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 egg
⅛ cup milk
¾ cup panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

Slice the yellow squash into ¼ inch rounds, removing the very top and bottom ends and discarding.
Place the sliced squash into a bowl and add the salt. Toss to combine.
Into one bowl, add the flour, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to combine.
In another bowl, add the egg and milk. Whisk to combine.
In a third bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each piece of squash first into the flour mixture, coating completely, then into the egg mixture, and then into the panko. When dipping into the panko, try to get as much panko as you can stuck to the surface of the squash. Repeat with all of the squash.
Place the squash in a single layer into your air fryer. Cook for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees.
Remove, and then serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining squash.

Notes

If you have a bunch of squash you are cooking up, place in the oven on a warm setting to keep warm while you're cooking the rest of the squash in the air fryer.
