PREP: 20 MINUTES | CHILL: 30–45 MINUTES | COOK: 20–25 MINUTES | MAKES: 8 SERVINGS
INTERMEDIATE RECIPE
DIRECTIONS
1 Place the zucchini sticks onto a plate and sprinkle
with salt. Allow to sit at room temperature for
15 minutes to remove excess liquid. Pat dry.
2 Place flour into a bowl. Place beaten eggs in
another bowl. Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan,
garlic powder, and onion powder in a third bowl.
3 First, dredge fries in the flour, then shake off
any excess and coat in the egg. Then coat in
bread crumb mixture and return to a clean plate.
Repeat with remaining zucchini. Cover plate with
plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 30 to
45 minutes.
4 Once coating has hardened, place the
Cook & Crisp™ Basket in the pot. Close crisping
lid. Preheat the unit by selecting AIR CRISP,
setting the temperature to 360°F, and setting
the time to 5 minutes. Press START/STOP
to begin.
5 After 5 minutes, open lid and add zucchini
fries to basket. Close lid. Select AIR CRISP, set
temperature to 360°F, and set time to 24 minutes.
Press START/STOP to begin.
6 After 12 minutes, open lid, then lift basket and shake
zucchini fries or toss them with silicone-tipped
tongs. Lower basket back into pot and close lid to
resume cooking.
7 After 20 minutes, check fries for desired
doneness. Cook for up to 5 more minutes for
crispier results. When cooking is complete,
serve fries immediately with marinara sauce.
