Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Air Fryer Zucchini Fries
  1. Begin by washing and trimming your medium-sized zucchinis. Cut them into fries about 1/4 inch thick, ensuring even sizes for uniform cooking. Set the fries aside.
  2. Create a simple breading station with all-purpose flour in one bowl, a beaten egg in the second, and seasoned breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
  3. Dredge each zucchini fry in flour, dip in egg, then roll in breadcrumbs. Repeat until all fries are coated.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange fries in a single layer, lightly spray with olive oil, and cook for 12 minutes, shaking halfway through.
  5. Remove fries from air fryer and let cool slightly. Serve with marinara or garlic aioli.
