The ingredients
- 1 zucchini, medium
- ¼ cup unsweetened plant-based milk
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, or gluten-free
- 1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder

Ranch dip
- 2 tbsp plain plant-based yogurt

- ¼ tsp onion powder
The method

- Cut the zucchini lengthwise into wedges about 2 cm (1/4 in) thick. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

- Dip the zucchini wedges in the batter, coating all sides, then coat them in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Arrange the zucchini fries in the air fryer basket without touching, lightly spray with oil and cook for about 20 minutes.
