  3. Cut zucchini into thin, even sticks.
  4. In one bowl, mix cornstarch, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  5. In another bowl, add breadcrumbs.

Additional Notes / Tips

  • For extra crispiness, bake on a wire rack instead of a tray.
  • Add nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor without the cheese.
  • Dip ideas: vegan garlic aioli, spicy ketchup, or tahini-lemon sauce.
  • Don’t overcrowd the tray — it makes fries soggy.
  • Reheat leftovers in an air fryer to restore crunch (because soggy fries are a crime).
