One of the best snacks from our garden! We grow a zucchini plant in our garden every year. It yields lots of zucchini, almost too much so I needed to figure out what to do with it all. It’s not a favorite of my husband or son but it’s now one of the best summer veggie snacks I can give my son that he likes.
It’s amazing how crispy and crunchy they come out of the air fryer with just a few spritzes of oil. Once cooked you top them off with powdered sugar. Yes, I said powdered sugar! I know it sounds really weird but trust me on this, it somehow makes it amazing! I had come across a recipe once that called for it so I tried it and never looked back.
Tools you will need:
Air fryer- I prefer a 5 qt size like this Power XL 5.3 qt Air Fryer
Oil Sprizter like this EVO Oil Spray bottle
3 bowls or trays like these breading prep trays
Tray like a Tara at Home 9×13 Unlimit tray
Ramikins like Tara at Home Rammies for dipping sauce.
It’s a really easy recipe and you can even make these up and freeze before frying so you can pop them in for a quick snack later.
