Ingredients
Veggies
- 2 medium zucchinis
Oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Spices
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional toppings
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the zucchinis into fry shapes, about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
- In a bowl, toss the zucchini fries with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- If using, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the zucchini and toss gently.
Cooking
- Arrange the seasoned zucchini fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
- Cook for about 10–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Serving
- Remove from the air fryer and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve warm alongside your favorite grilled meals.
Notes
Pat zucchini dry before tossing to help them crisp better. Don't overcrowd the basket — cook in batches for maximum crunch. Adjust cook time based on thickness; thinner fries need less time. Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F for 3–5 minutes to restore crispness. For variety, serve alongside air fryer crispy mini blooming onions as an extra snack.
