Instructions
First, preheat your air fryer. If your air fryer has a preheating option you can preheat your air fryer. If you don’t have that option, you can run the machine at 380 degrees F for 2-5 minutes. Leave the machine running for about 3 minutes for smaller air fryers. Leave the machine running for about 5 minutes for larger air fryers. Cut two zucchini into fry shapes. To do this, slice each zucchini lengthwise down the middle. Then, cut each half lengthwise down the middle. Next, cut each of those pieces lengthwise down the middle. Lastly, cut each in half horizontally. You should have 32 zucchini sticks. Refer to the photo above in the post. Set up three bowls. In one bowl, add almond flour. In another bowl, crack two eggs, add in milk and whisk. In the third bowl, combine bread crumbs, garlic powder, cheese, salt and pepper. Coat each piece of zucchini in the almond flour, then the egg mixture and then the bread crumb mixture. When breading the zucchini, use one hand for the wet ingredients and one hand for the dry ingredients. This will keep your fingers from getting sticky with breading. Remove zucchini one at a time and transfer them into an air fryer sprayed with olive oil. Do not overcrowd the air fryer with the zucchini. I complete this recipe in two batches. Once you have put the breaded zucchini into the air fryer, spray them with olive oil. Air fry them at 380 degrees F for about 7-11 minutes. Mine were perfect around the 9 minute mark. While you air fry the second batch, leave the first batch on a wire cooling rack. This will keep them nice and crispy. Dip these crispy pieces of zucchini into your favorite sauce! I made a yogurt sauce to pair with them with Greek yogurt, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.View original recipe
