Notes

To bake your zucchini fries in the oven: If you don’t have an air fryer, you can also bake these crispy zucchini fries in the oven. After breading your zucchini fries, place them in a single layer on a greased baking sheet and spray them with nonstick cooking spray. Bake the fries in a 350 degree oven for around 15 minutes. To make your oven-baked zucchini fries extra crispy, place them under the broiler for two to three minutes after the cook time is up.
