Instructions
 

  1. Wash the zucchini squash. Chop off the ends and slice into fry-like shapes.
  2. Toss the zucchini slices and half the amount of salt into a large mixing bowl and mix so the salt is evenly dispersed. Let set for 5 minutes. This sweats the zucchini and allows the breading to stick better.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, cornstarch, spices, and remaining salt.
  4. Add the breadcrumb mixture to the bowl with the zucchini slices. Mix until all spears are evenly coated.
  5. Spray lightly with olive oil and toss again.
  6. Transfer the spears into the air fryer basket.
  7. Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through.
  8. Remove the fries from the air fryer. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

Notes

  1. To bake instead of air fry: Bake at 425 for 15-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  2. Not Vegan? Use one beaten egg or egg white to help the breading stick to the fries. Top with cheese (grated parmesan would be delicious) or serve with dairy ranch dressing.
  3. Gluten-free? Choose gluten-free breadcrumbs to make this recipe good to go!
  4. Want some heat? Add 1/4 - 1/2 tsp cayenne to the breading for a little kick.
