Ingredients
1packetFrozen Zucchini (Veggie) fries
2teaspoonolive oil or butteroptional
2teaspoonparmesan cheeseoptional
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees. Open your zucchini fries (or veggie fries), and lightly coat them with butter or olive oil. If you want an extra crunch, you can coat the sticks a bit more generously with butter.
Once the air fryer is preheated, place the veggie fries in the air fryer as evenly as possible across the basket. This allows the fries to cook evenly across.
Set the air fryer timer to 10 minutes. Check in at around 5-6 minute mark and give the fries a good shake half way through.
Garnish with parmesan cheese and enjoy!
Notes
For crispier fries, spray or coat the fries with butter or olive oil. You can also add an additional minute to the air fryer time to get them more crispy.
Don't crowd your basket. Spread your fries as evenly with very little overlap if possible. This will help the fries to cook more evenly across the basket. Nobody wants unevenly cooked fries!
If you are making larger quantities, cook them in separate batches. Reduce 1 minute for every consecutive batch you make.
