    Next time I'll use an air fryer

    The double coating of breadcrumbs is key to getting them crispy. Thanks for the recipe!

  • Katlynn Ritchie

    I tried these with almond flour and they were surprisingly good!

  • Therese Gerlach

    I found that the zucchini got a little soggy. Next time, I'll try salting them beforehand to draw out some of the moisture.

  • Oren Daniel

    These were so easy and my kids loved them! I added some garlic powder and it was a hit.

  • Kenyatta Reinger

    These are a great alternative to regular fries! I'll definitely be making these again.
