zucchini fries recipe

Air Fryer Zucchini Fries are tender in the center with a crispy coating. This zucchini fries recipe is quick and easy to make too!

Air Fryer Zucchini Fries

zucchini

all purpose flour

eggs beaten

panko breadcrumbs

parmesan cheese

garlic powder

parsley (for garnish (optional))

ketchup

chili powder

hot sauce

Using three small bowls, prepare a breading station for the zucchini. One bowl for flour, second bowl for egg, and in the third bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and garlic powder.

Preheat air fryer to 400°F.

Meanwhile, working in batches, coat the zucchini pieces, in this order:  Dredge through flour, then egg (shake off excess), then the panko mixture. Lay fries flat on a plate, repeating until they are all coated.

Arrange zucchini fries in a single layer on the air fryer trays or in the basket (depending on the type of air fryer being used). Don’t overlap them.  *If using a basket air fryer, you may need to fry in batches.

Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.

Garnish with dried parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Zucchini Fries

Add all of the ingredients to a small bowl. Stir or whisk well to combine.

Spicy Ketchup

These homemade fried zucchini are light, crisp, and nearly imposssible to resist! To achieve the light and crisp texture, the zucchini slices are dipped in milk and then tossed gently in seasoned flour before being fried.

Homemade Fried Zucchini

vegetable oil (for frying (roughly 5-6 cups))

(240 mL) whole or low-fat milk

(120 g) unbleached all-purpose flour

kosher salt

black pepper

lemon wedges (for serving)

Trim and discard the ends of the zucchini. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the zucchini lengthwise into ¼-inch slices. Cut each slice lengthwise into ¼-inch shoestring fries (discard any inner pieces that are very seedy, as they won’t fry as well, save for soup or other purposes). Alternatively, you could julienne the zucchini with a mandolin.

Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 365°F (185°C). The oil should fill the pot halfway or more.

Place the milk in a medium bowl. Set the flour on a large sheet of wax paper or plate. Line a half sheet pan with paper towels and set close to the frying area.

Gently dip a small handful of zucchini matchsticks into the milk. Toss the pieces in the flour until lightly coated. Drop the pieces gently into the frying oil, and using a spider or slotted spoon, gently stir and flip so they brown evenly. It will take roughly 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Avoid over-crowding the pot, you&#39;ll want to try in batches. Fry the zucchini for roughly 2-3 minutes per batch. Lift and transfer the zucchini fries to the paper towel lined baking sheet. Season immediately with salt and pepper.

Serve the hot zucchini fries with lemon wedges for squeezing.

I made it!! Must say I needed to do them thinner as picture shown, but none the less they came out cracking how zucchini should taste! my word absolutely delish! I’ve never had this dish with lemon, it really complements the zucchini! ( simple and easy!)  Thank you!!!!!!!!! 

Had these first time ever in Zizzis and although I haven’t tried this recipe I feel confident it’s the method used at Zizzis. Can one use a Spiraliser to create the frutti?

We were in France last year and had this and it was amazing! Soooo with this no travel ban my husband said ohh do you remember those zucchini fries we had.....found your recipe and now have a VERY happy hubby ❤️
