Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Wash and dry the zucchinis, slicing them into uniform strips about 1/4-inch thick.
Sprinkle the cut zucchini strips with salt and let them sit for 10-15 minutes to draw out moisture, then pat dry.
Toss the dried zucchini strips with oil, salt, pepper, and any spices. Ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
Place the seasoned zucchini fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway.
Check for doneness, they should be golden brown and crispy. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes if needed.
Transfer the crispy zucchini fries to a serving platter and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.
