- 10 ml (2 tsp) garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

- Prepare 2 small bowls. In the first bowl, beat the egg. In the second bowl, mix the flour, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each piece of zucchini in the egg, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Place the zucchini pieces in the air fryer, avoiding overlapping.
- Cook for 15 minutes on the air fry function, flipping the fries halfway through cooking.
- Serve with your choice of sauce and consume immediately to preserve the crispy texture. We suggest our cilantro and lime sauce or one of our Greek yogurt dip.
