It will soon be that time again and zucchinis will be in abundance. And to give you some ideas of what you can make with them, we’re making these crispy zucchini fries in the air fryer today.
Zucchinis are a real all-rounder in the summer kitchen: mild in taste, versatile and rich in water, vitamins and fiber. Especially at the height of summer, when the plants in the garden or at the market really get going, the question often arises: what to do with all the vegetables? In addition to classic dishes such as zucchini soup, stuffed zucchinis or zucchini cake, it’s worth trying something new. That’s where these crispy zucchini fries from the hot air fryer come in.
Why zucchini fries from the air fryer?
Fries always work, right? And if you’re looking for a lighter but just as tasty alternative to classic potato fries, you’ll love this version. The zucchinis are cut into strips, breaded and cooked in a hot air fryer with minimal oil until crispy. The result: golden brown and crispy on the outside, soft and juicy on the inside – without any frying fat.
Another plus point: preparation is extremely straightforward. All you need are a few ingredients and, of course, a hot air fryer. If you like experimenting with low carb or gluten-free options, you can also play around with different coatings, for example with almond flour, parmesan or gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Zucchini fries are also a great way for children to eat more vegetables. Especially if they are served with a delicious dip. Whether it’s tzatziki, a light garlic cream or simply ketchup, you can combine them however you like.
Perfect as a snack, side dish or light dinner
Zucchini fries are ideal as a quick snack between meals, as a healthy alternative on a party buffet or as a light side dish with grilled meat or fish. Especially on warm days, they are a great way to get something fresh and crispy onto your plate. Without much effort or heavy food.
