Notes
Storage Information
These fries are best enjoyed right after they are made. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Warm them up in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes before serving.
To freeze, place uncooked, breaded zucchini on a baking sheet and flash freeze for 30 minutes in the freezer. Transfer to a freezer safe ziploc bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Air fry from frozen, adding a couple minutes to the cooking time.
