Zucchini fries are a classic summer dish, but they can be a bit of a pain to make. Traditional zucchini fries are coated in bread crumbs and fried in hot oil, which can be messy and time-consuming. These air fryer zucchini fries are a much easier and healthier alternative. They're coated in a simple batter of almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, and spices, and they're cooked in the air fryer until golden brown and crispy. The result is a delicious and healthy snack or side dish that's perfect for any occasion.
