How to Air Fry Zucchini
Коротка відповідь
For zucchini — sticks / batons — ½ in / 13 mm thick — start with 400°F (205°C) for an estimated 10–13 minutes. Flip or turn at about 6 minutes. Use the preparation steps below and the full table for other sizes or starting conditions.
Slicing for Best Results
Cut zucchini into ¼-inch rounds or lengthwise into planks. Thinner slices crisp up faster but can turn mushy if overdone. For a heartier texture, cut into ½-inch half-moons. Avoid slices thinner than ¼ inch as they tend to dry out completely.
Removing Excess Moisture
Zucchini is mostly water, which is the biggest challenge in getting a good result. After slicing, sprinkle with salt and let sit for 5–10 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels. This step makes a noticeable difference in texture.
Plain vs. Breaded Zucchini
Plain zucchini with olive oil, garlic, and Italian seasoning is ready in about 8–10 minutes at 400°F. For breaded zucchini fries, dip slices in egg then panko breadcrumbs, spray with cooking spray, and cook 10–12 minutes at 400°F, flipping once.
Serving Suggestions
Plain air-fried zucchini pairs well with fish or chicken. Breaded zucchini fries are a crowd-pleasing snack or side served with marinara or ranch dip. They also make a great component in a mixed vegetable air-fry.
