Our CSA boxes from Luckett Farms include zucchini for more than half the year. The new-things-to-do-with-zucchini struggle is real, but I haven’t lost a zucchini yet. Zucchini straws make a great crispy side or snack. Quick and simple. Works with yellow squash too!

Zucchini Straws

Ingredients

• 3-4 zucchini, spiralized
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp oregano (OK to sub other herbs)

Process

• Preheat airfryer to 330º (if using oven, preheat to 400º).
• Grind the garlic with the olive oil, oregano, and salt.
• Toss the spiralized zucchini in the oil mixture, coating well.
• If using, sprinkle with flour/meal and toss more.
• Cook.
  • To airfry
    • Place about a third of the zucchini in the airfryer at a time (don’t overfill)
    • Cook in three minute intervals for 9-12 minutes, tossing every three minutes.
