Notes
How to cook Zucchini Fries in the Air Fryer:
Cooking your zucchini fries in the air fryer is so simple. Start by following the directions to prep the zucchini up to the step where they are coated in breadcrumbs.
Preheat your air fryer following the directions for your air fryer model.
Evenly space the zucchini in your air fryer basket. Leave a bit of space between each one so the hot air can circulate around them (this makes them crispy on all the sides).
If you want extra crispy fries then lightly spray the tops with a bit of non stick baking spray or your favorite cooking oil.
Cook the zucchini fries at 400 degrees F (or use the french fry setting) for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
If you like your fries even crispier then flip them over and air fryer for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Once cooked, transfer them to a serving plate and allow them to cool several minutes before serving.
Serve the air fryer zucchini fries with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as is.
