Air Fryer zucchini is light and tender in the middle with a crisp and flavorful spiced batter/breaded coating. All you need is under 10 minutes of hands-on prep and 12 minutes of cooking time for this dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free (optional) healthy snack, appetizer, or side dish - with the dip of your choice!
You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.Slice the zucchini into rounds (about 1/4 inch / 0,65 cm thick) and transfer them to a bowl.
Add chickpea flour to a medium-sized bowl along with the dairy-free milk, tomato sauce, spices, and oil. Whisk to combine.
Pour the batter over the zucchini rounds and toss thoroughly to combine, using tongs, a spoon, or even your fingers.
To a medium-sized bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs or coconut flour. Dip each zucchini round into the breadcrumbs (or coconut flour) until fully coated.
Spray the bottom of your air fryer with a little oil and add the breaded zucchini. Spread them evenly in a single layer and spray the top with cooking oil.
Cook at 370°F (188 °C) for 12-13 minutes. You can flip them after 8 minutes and spray them with more cooking spray for crispier results.
Flour for the batter: I like using chickpea flour, but regular all-purpose flour will work too.
Cooking method: You could also bake the zucchini in the oven, at 425°F (220°C) but the cooking time will increase to about 25 minutes (I recommend flipping halfway through).
