# Instructions:
01 -
Take the fries out and enjoy them hot with any dip you like.
02 -
Set all the zucchini in one layer in the air fryer. Cook for 10–12 minutes and give the basket a good shake halfway so everything gets crisp and golden.
03 -
Drizzle your zucchini with oil or give them a light spray. Sprinkle your favorite coating mix and freshly cracked pepper. Toss really well.
04 -
Spread salt over the zucchini and let it hang out for 10–15 minutes. Blot away any liquid you see with paper towels.
05 -
Slice the zucchinis long and skinny for fries or into rounds for chips, after you've washed and dried them.
06 -
Kick on the air fryer to 190°C and let it heat for a few minutes.
# Notes:
01 -
If you pat the salted zucchini really dry, you'll get the best crunch.
02 -
If it's too crowded in the air fryer, split into a couple loads so everything cooks evenly.
03 -
Want to reheat leftovers? Pop them back in the air fryer at 150°C for 2 or 3 minutes.
