    Air Fryer Zucchini Fries Recipe

    My kitchen is filled with zucchini most of the year, and I'm always looking for new ways to eat it!

    These Air Fryer Zucchini Fries are crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside in just 10 minutes!

    I like these because it's a combination of the soft inside of a french fry with the crunchy breading of a mozzarella sticks.

    I even usually serve mine with marinara dipping sauce!

    How to Make Air Fryer Zucchini Fries

    1. After you cleaned your zucchini, slice them into ½-inch sticks. Chop off the ends, but no need to peel!
    2. Time to prep for the breading! You'll need three bowls here: one for the whisked eggs, one for the flour, and one for the seasoned bread crumbs. To coat the zucchini sticks, first dredge them in flour, then egg, then seasoned bread crumbs. Be gentle!
    3. Carefully place the coated zucchini sticks in the air fryer basket and spray the basket and sticks generously with oil. Cook these for about 10 minutes at 400 degrees F (or 204 degrees C!), flipping and re-spraying halfway through. Be sure to keep an eye on your fries! The times may vary.
    4. Once cooked, serve with marinara dipping sauce and enjoy!

    HOW TO FREEZE

    You can definitely freeze these in advance! After dredging through the three bowls, gently place on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper and freeze sticks separately.

    Once frozen, you can transport them to a freezer safe container for up to six months!

    When reheating frozen sticks, they can either be thawed and cooked for about 10 minutes at 400 degrees F or you can keep them frozen and cook them a few minutes longer, likely 15-20 depending how many and the size of your air fryer!

    HOW TO STORE

    In the fridge, these will last about 3 to 4 days. The breading will definitely not be as crunchy the next day, so try to make as many as you need for one meal.

    Put a paper towel in any container with your leftovers, and use a paper bag if you have one!

    The extra material will help absorb some of the humidity to keep the leftover fries as crunchy as you can.
