Description
Discover the joy of crunch with Healthy Air Fryer Zucchini Fries. A delightful fusion of Air Fryer Gluten Free goodness and Vegetarian Low Calorie recipes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 fresh zucchinis
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Optional: 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
- For Coating Options (choose one):
- Garlic Parmesan: Garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs
- Spicy: Chili powder, paprika, salt
- Herby: Dried herbs like thyme or rosemary
Instructions
- Wash and dry the zucchini. Slice them into even sticks resembling fries.
- If using breadcrumbs, prepare the mixture in a shallow dish by combining your chosen spices.
- Dip each zucchini stick lightly in olive oil or spritz them with cooking spray.
- Roll them in the chosen coating mixture until well covered.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the zucchini sticks in a single layer in the fryer basket.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve a golden-brown finish on all sides.
- Once cooked, transfer the zucchini fries onto a serving plate.
- Add a final sprinkle of salt or extra seasoning if desired, and garnish with freshly chopped herbs or additional Parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately as a crispy and warm snack, possibly paired with a favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Ensure the zucchini is thoroughly dried before coating to prevent sogginess.
- Choose medium-sized zucchinis for the best texture. Larger ones tend to be more watery inside.
- Avoid overloading the air fryer basket to ensure the hot air circulates well, giving a crispier finish.
- Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
