Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by rinsing your zucchinis under cold water and patting them dry. Cut them into uniform strips, about 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle salt over them and let sit for 10-15 minutes to draw out moisture.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the dried zucchini strips with olive oil. Add your chosen seasonings and mix well until every piece is evenly coated.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This step ensures the fries cook immediately when placed inside.
  4. Arrange the seasoned zucchini strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway for even browning.
  5. Check for doneness; they should be golden brown and crispy. Cook in additional 2-minute increments if needed.
  6. Remove from the air fryer, let cool for a minute, and serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
