Ingredients
Zucchini Fries
- 2 medium zucchini
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup Italian breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
Sweet and Smokey Sauce
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp honey
- ½ tsp apple cider vinegar
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- Slice your zucchini into 3-inch long slices, about ½ inch thick. Set aside.
- Stir together buttermilk, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and set aside.
- Stir together the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese and set aside.
- Dip each zucchini fry into the buttermilk, then the crumb mixture.
- Spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray and place the zucchini fries in a single layer inside the basket. Air fry at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce by combining all sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
Notes
The fries themselves don’t keep well in the fridge, but you can make the dipping sauce up to 3 days ahead of time.
The sauce is tangy, sweet, and a little smoky, perfect for dipping! If you don’t have buttermilk, use whole milk instead.
