Crispy Air Fryer Zucchini Fries
These crispy zucchini fries deliver the crunch of traditional fries with fewer carbs and more vegetables, all in under 20 minutes using an air fryer.
Ingredients
Zucchini Fries
- 2 medium zucchini Trimmed and cut into fry-shaped sticks
- 1 cup almond flour Finely ground is best; can substitute with crushed pork rinds or panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated gives the best flavor
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- to taste Salt and pepper
- Olive oil spray Or a light brush of olive oil
- Greek yogurt For dipping mixed with lemon juice, salt, and a pinch of garlic powder
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Trim the zucchini ends and cut each zucchini into fry-shaped sticks about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Toss the zucchini sticks in the mixture, pressing gently so the coating sticks evenly. Shake off excess.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the coated zucchini fries in a single layer in the basket without overlapping; cook in batches if needed.
Cooking
- Air-fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
- Serve immediately with a dollop of Greek yogurt or your favorite dip.
Notes
To maximize crunch, serve hot and fresh. Cool any leftovers to room temperature before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For reheating, use an air fryer or an oven to regain crispness, avoiding the microwave.
