Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 egg (whisked)
  • 1 cup pork panko
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup paleo mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free ketchup
  • Optional: a few shakes of hot sauce

Instruction

  • Make the fry sauce first by combining all the ingredients. Place in the refrigerator while you make the zucchini fries.
  • Cut zucchini into fries: Cut each zucchini into 3 even pieces widthwise. Halve each piece of zucchini lengthwise. Take each 1/2 and slice in 3 similar-sized sticks lengthwise, so you have 6 zucchini sticks from 1/3 of a zucchini.
  • Pat dry the zucchini sticks with a paper towel.
  • In a separate bowl, crack and whisk the egg.
  • In another bowl, mix together pork panko, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Dredge the zucchini sticks in the egg wash. Shake off the excess and press into the pork panko mixture. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the rest of the zucchini sticks.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F, and spray the zucchini fries with cooking oil for an extra crispy texture.
  • Arrange the zucchini sticks in a single layer in the air fryer. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  • Cook for 8-10 minutes until crispy and browned.
  • Serve immediately with fry sauce.
  • If you have leftovers, store in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container. Reheat in the air fryer for 4-5 minutes at 400 degrees F to crisp up again.
