Zucchini Sticks
- Slice your zucchinis into 3 flat pieces like the photo above and sprinkle salt on both sides.
- Let your zucchini sit for 15 minutes and pat dry with a paper towel-soaking up ALL the water. This step is critical.
- Once dry, cut in half, then in 3 lengthwise
- Arrange your 3 bowls for dredging your zucchini. First, your flour, cayenne, parsley (chopped), and a pinch of salt. Second, your eggs and milk, and third just your panko.
- Choose a hand for the dry bowls and the other for the wet. Dredge your zucchinis and set them aside on a plate.
Aioli
- Mince your garlic and add into a small-medium size bowl
- Add in your mayo, lemon, a pinch of cayenne & salt.
- Done!
Air Frying
- Every air fryer is different, so timing may be different depending on which one you have. Also, you will need to do multiple batches for this recipe.
- Arrange your sticks in your air fryer, making sure you DON'T overlap them. With a basting brush, lightly spread some olive oil over your sticks.
- Cook at 400 for 5 minutes, then flip, re olive oil, and put on for another 5 minutes.
