Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 medium 7-inch zucchinis about 400g
- 1 cup flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup non-dairy milk of choice
- 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 F or oven to 425F.
- Slice your zucchinis into ½ inch x 3 ½-inch “sticks. Pat the sticks dry with a paper towel and allow to sit for about 10 minutes. This helps dry out the zucchini so the breading sticks.
- Prepare two shallow bowls or dishes- one with the flour, salt, pepper and milk (whisk these ingredients until a batter forms), and the other bowl with the breadcrumbs, garlic powder and paprika.
- Dip each zucchini stick in the flour batter, so it has a thin coating, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, coating all sides.

- Place in the basket of your air fryer in a single layer, ensuring the zucchini sticks do not touch each other.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.
Oven method:
