FAQ
Q: Can I air-fry these instead of baking?
A: Yes! Air-fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Q: Can I use frozen zucchini?
A: It’s best to use fresh zucchini. Frozen zucchini releases water and can make the rounds soggy.
Q: How do I make them extra crunchy?
A: Use panko breadcrumbs and press the coating firmly onto the zucchini. A light spray of oil also helps achieve extra crispiness.
