Air-Fryer Zucchini Fries

Overview

Nutrient-rich zucchini becomes deliciously crispy and golden with the magic of air frying. These heart-healthy alternatives deliver a satisfying crunch while preserving the vegetable's natural antioxidants and vitamins. The air frying process enhances the zucchini’s delicate natural sweetness, and our signature tomato-based dipping sauce adds a perfect balance of acidity and richness with heart-healthy vinegar and just a touch of mayonnaise.

Instructions

STEP 1 Coat air-fryer basket with cooking spray. Cut zucchini into cut 24 (2-inch-long) wedges.

STEP 2 Place flour in a shallow dish. Combine eggs and water in another shallow dish. Place panko in a third shallow dish. Dredge the zucchini first in the flour, then in the egg, then in the panko, shaking off excess. Place half of the zucchini in the prepared basket. Coat well with cooking spray. Cook at 360°F until crispy and tender, about 12 minutes, turning once during cooking. Repeat with the remaining zucchini.

STEP 3 Combine mayonnaise, tomato paste, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth. Serve the dipping sauce with the zucchini.
