Air FryerZucchini Fries

Air FryerZucchini Fries is one of our all-time favourite alternatives to French Friesin the air fryer. Its one of those veggie fries recipes that you can get thekids involved in making and they will forget that they are eating zucchiniinstead of potatoes.

For my little ones (they are both under 5 as I write this) today’s Air Fryer Zucchini Fries recipe is a special day for them. Yesterday we received a delivery from Amazon that included their own set of kids kitchen knives and they helped me chop the zucchini and the cucumber that goes in the Tzatziki Dip.

My kids love cooking with me, andtoday’s zucchini recipe was their recipe and their moment.

Of course, there was a bit of mess, but I smiled and a quick wipe up and we were ready for cooking zucchini fries in the air fryer.

Air FryerZucchini Fries Vs Air Fryer Courgette Chips

But first let me tell you EXACTLY why I am updating and changingthe name of our Air Fryer Courgette Chips to Air Fryer Zucchini Fries.

In a nutshell it is a cultural thing.When we started RecipeThis.com we had a bigger UK audience to now having abigger US audience. Also, the biggest question we ever get asked here is whatis a courgette?

I was born in England and live inPortugal. Today as we publish this post it is EXACTLY 7 years ago today that we arrived in Vermont to visit outfamily in America for the first time.

All the TV we watch is Americanand a lot of the way Portuguese people learn English is American. Add to thisbuilding relationships with a lot of American bloggers and brands, it feelslike the perfect time to make our earlier recipes, easier for our Americanreaders to understand.

Whether you live in England andcall them courgettes or live in America and call them zucchini, I am sure youcan relate to the fact that they make a delicious healthy snack in the airfryer!

Air Fryer ZucchiniFries No Breading

I get it.You want zucchini fries as a healthier alternative and you follow a gluten freediet. You might follow Keto, Paleo or a general Low Carb Diet and this is whenyou want delicious Zucchini Fries that are diet friendly.

Well this is EXACTLY what I am offering you today. Our Zucchini fries in the air fryer have no breading and instead use my favourite Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free products instead.

You can get Bob’s Red Mill products at Thrive Market and save a small fortune off your first order too.

My #1 Secret Ingredient is Bob’s Red Mill Oat Bran. You would of course associate it with breakfast. BUT it is a fantastic in betweenproduct. It is rough like breadcrumbs and not smooth like oat flour. It is alsonot too rough like oats. It makes an amazing coating for when you make zucchinifries and want to keep them Paleo and low carb friendly.

Air FryerZucchini Fries Ingredients

Theingredients in my zucchini fries in the air fryer are simple ingredients thatmost of us will have in our pantry.

• Zucchini – I used some supermarket bought Zucchinis. One big one or 2 medium zucchinis is all that you need.
• Gluten Free Baking Flour – We used Bob’s Red Mill baking flour. The zucchini was rolled in the baking flour prior to the beaten egg.
• Eggs – I added 2 large eggs to a bowl and used a fork to quickly mix them ready for dunking my zucchini in. You can use any type of egg or use an egg alternative. As long as it is sticky it will do the trick. I like to use coconut oil as a plan B if I am on an egg free diet.
• Gluten Free Oat Bran – I rolled my zucchini fries after they had been in the baking flour and the eggs in gluten free oat bran. It gave it the same texture as breadcrumbs. Of course, you could use breadcrumbs, or another alternative instead.

Tzatziki Dip Ingredients

There arejust a handful of ingredients for making Tzatziki Dip and I had them allin the fridge and pantry, so no need for extra grocery shopping.

• Cucumber – I always think of cucumber when I have Tzatziki Dip. It reminds me of holidays in the Greek Isles and is so delicious. Thinly sliced into tiny cubes and its ready.
• Mint – It must be fresh mint for it to taste good in a Tzatziki Dip. Thinly sliced and add it to the bowl with your cucumber.
• Greek Yoghurt – Add in Greek yoghurt for that amazing Mediterranean taste, or if you are on Paleo swap it for a dairy free alternative.
• Dill – A sprinkling of dried dill gives it that fabulous Greek look and dill tastes amazing too. We used this dried dill and think the organic of dried herbs.
• Lemon – Add in lemon and you’re all set.
