Crispy Zucchini Sticks Ingredients

• Zucchini – large zucchini
• Water, egg, and milk – these ingredient create the batter
• Corn Flakes – the corn flakes add crispiness
• Seasoning – salt, pepper, turmeric, and mint adds flavor

Tips

To make it extra crispy, you can also add Panko breadcrumbs.

The sticks shouldn’t be too small—this will cause the zucchini to overcook and they will become soggy.

Add parmesan for a cheesy flavor.

If the zucchini is too soggy, you can prepare them beforehand to remove excess moisture. Sprinkle them with a tablespoon of salt, and toss them in a bowl. This helps to draw out moisture. Pat the zucchini sticks dry with towel paper and proceed with the recipe, omitting the extra salt in the recipe.

How to Store Crispy Zucchini Sticks

Store leftover zucchini sticks in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

If you want them to be crispy after reheating, warm them in the oven or Airfryer. If you reheat them in the microwave, they will become mushy.

Can I Make Crispy Zucchini Sticks in the Airfryer?

Because the batter is so wet, the recipe won’t work in an airfryer.

What To Serve With Crispy Zucchini Sticks

Serve the zucchini sticks with your favorite dipping sauce. Make a basic fry dipping sauce by whisking together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp ketchup, and 1 tsp chopped pickle. You can also make aioli by mixing mayonnaise with a fresh garlic clove and a dash of lemon juice.
