Notes

Storage & Reheat

It tastes best when hot and fresh. However you can refrigerate the leftover for 4 days when stored properly in an air tight container.
To reheat, place the fries in the preheated air fryer basket and cook at 400 F for 2 - 4 minutes, or in the oven for 5 - 7 minutes.
You can also freeze the breaded zucchini for future use. Store properly in an air-tight container or zip log freezer bag. Great to make ahead these appetizers for any parties, gameday, etc.
