Seasoned Air-Fryer Zucchini Fries

These Air-Fryer Zucchini Fries are a much lighter version of real deal. They’re a lot lower in calories and carbs, and with all its nutrients actually improves your health instead of making it worse.

Extra fries? No. Make that a double order! Now I can tell myself I’m getting those veggies in as I reach for that second bowl.

I realized I don’t like eating normal cooked zucchini dishes anymore – that texture is way too mushy. So after actually enjoying those Baked Zucchini Chips to use up my huge stock the other day, I decided to try fries today. 

They were also kind of an excuse to use that air-fryer I got last Christmas but hadn’t touched in forever.

These turned out crispy, and no more zucchini sogginess! New low-carb snack added to my list.

Thankfully I don’t need to give up fries for Bikini season now coz its the same time as Zucchini season!
