Can I make zucchini fries ahead of time?

You can prep and bread the zucchini sticks ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Cook them just before serving for best texture.

Can I freeze zucchini fries?

It’s best to freeze them after they’re cooked. Reheat in the air fryer at 400°F for 5 minutes. They’ll stay crispy.

What’s the best substitute for parmesan?

Try nutritional yeast, dairy-free cheese shreds, or even finely ground cashews mixed with garlic powder for a similar effect.

Why are my zucchini fries soggy?

Most likely from moisture. Always pat the zucchini dry before coating, and avoid crowding the tray or fryer basket.
