Air Fryer Curly Zucchini Fries are a crispy, flavorful snack made with fresh zucchini cut into fun curly strips. They cook in the air fryer for an easy alternative to traditional fries.
These are a fun way to use fresh zucchini, especially when the garden is overflowing. I love how the curly shape makes them perfect for dipping!

How to Make Air Fryer Curly Zucchini Fries
Prepare the coating: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Mix the flour and seasonings in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl.
