Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 250 grams zucchini cut into ¼ to ½ inch thickness
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 2.5 tbsp almond flour
  • 2.5 tbsp corn starch
  • ½ tsp red chili powder or to taste
  • 1 tbsp oil divided

Instructions

Prep the Zucchini Fries-

  • Cut the zucchini into ¼ to ½ inch thick stick/fries/slices. Add the 1 tsp of salt and mix well. The salt will ooze out water, and that will help the flour to stick on the zucchini.
  • In a mixing bowl or plate, combine the almond flour, corn starch, and red chili powder. Mix well and set aside.
  • Add the salted zucchini fries to the flour mixture, and toss until coated. Place them into the air fryer tray. Repeat the same for the slices.

Air-Fry in batches-

  • Preheat your air fryer as per the manual instructions. Now air-fry the zucchini at 400 def F for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, take out the tray the shake the fries. Brush them with some oil and air-fry again for 400 def F for 5 minutes. We have to air-fry for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the fries between and brushing them with some oil.
  • I had to work in two batches. After both the batches are done, I placed all the fries in the tray and set the air fryer at 400 deg F for just 2 minutes for a crispier version.
  • And that's it. Serve it with your favorite dipping sauce. I served it with marinara.

Notes

  • Adjust the salt and the spice according to your preference. Do not overcrowd your air fryer. Leave some space for even frying.
  • The total cooking time is 10 to 12 minutes. I cooked in batches and first air-fried them for 10 minutes and then combined both the batches and cooked for just 2 minutes, which is optional. Depending upon how crispy you want your fries, you can cook accordingly.
  • I went with basic seasoning. Instead of chili powder, you can add dried herbs or other spices like cajun seasoning or peri-peri spice powder, etc.
  • Instead of almond flour, you can use panko bread crumbs also.
