How to prepare Air fryer zucchini fries

To prepare the air fryer zucchini fries, first wash the courgettes and trim them 1. Then cut them in half 2 and cut into 1 cm thick slices 3.

Make sticks 4 and repeat this operation for all the zucchini 5. Dab them with absorbent paper 6.

Dry them well 7 and transfer them to a bowl. Drizzle with oil 8, preferably using a spray. Turn the zucchini well, add the breadcrumbs and mix again 9. Switch to cooking. We used a 30 liter air fryer, if yours is smaller, cook the zucchini in two or three times.

Preheat the fryer at 230°C for 2 minutes, place the zucchini in the basket or on the grill of the fryer and cook for 12 minutes, turning the sticks after 8 minutes. When they are golden brown, take them out of the oven 10, salt them on the surface 11 and serve them 12.

Storage

We recommend consuming the zucchini sticks as soon as they are ready to preserve their crunchiness.

Tips

If you don't have a 30 liter air fryer you can use a smaller one. Cook the courgettes several times, making sure that they are well spaced.

If your air fryer does not reach 230°C don't worry; set it to maximum power and cook the sticks until they are golden brown.

If you like, you can flavor the breadcrumbs with dried oregano or other aromatic herbs.
