Swirls of Flavor Recipe Tips
- Be sure to let the zucchini sticks drain on a paper towel and pat dry to remove any excess moisture before cooking
- You can trim the seeds on the zucchini sticks but it’s not necessary
- Air fry the zucchini in a single layer and do not overcrowd them. You will probably have to make them in batches. This will help to make them crispy.
- Serve fries with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing or marinara sauce
- Slice the zucchini in rounds and make air fryer zucchini chips!
- Substitute seasoned panko breadcrumbs for the seasoned breadcrumbs although you may need to use more panko crumbs than regular breadcrumbs
