Equipment

1 cutting board
1 Knife
3 shallow plates or bowls
1 air fryer

Ingredients

2 medium zucchini
1 sprinkle salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup milk (vegans use plant-based milk)
1 cup bread crumbs

Optional Ingredients

2 teaspoons seasoning garlic powder, parmesan cheese, Italian or Cajon seasoning
1 spray cooking oil

Instructions

Step One: Prep the air fryer to 400 degrees. Cut the ends off the zucchini. Slice the zucchini in half and then cut it in half lengthwise down the middle. Cut into strips. Try to have the strips the same size for even cooking.
Sprinkle the zucchini with a light amount of salt. Let stand for five minutes to sweat out moisture. After five minutes, use a paper towel to remove the excess moisture.
Step Two: Place the flour, milk, and breadcrumbs in three separate plates or shallow bowls. Dip each zucchini stick in the flour, milk, and crumbs. Set the stick on a plate off to the side. Repeat until all zucchini sticks have been prepared. Lightly spray the zucchini sticks with cooking oil.
Step Three: Place zucchini fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Bake at 400 degrees for ten minutes. Flip halfway through.

Notes

Storing and Reheating

Zucchini fries will become soggy within an hour. For this reason, I recommend eating right away and not storing.
