Ingredient Vegetable Squash Zucchini Air-Fryer Zucchini Fries 3.5 (2) 2 Reviews These crunchy, crispy zucchini fries turn very tender in the air fryer and have a delicate natural sweetness from the cooking process. The simple dipping sauce is very tomato forward, with just enough acid from the vinegar and mayonnaise to add incredible tang.
