Ingredients

1 medium zucchini (cut into fries shape)
1/4 cup chickpea flour
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper powder
Salt as per taste
3 tbsp dairy free milk ( I used oat milk, but you may use any)
1/2 cup panko crumbs

Instructions

Cut the zucchini horizontally into 4(cylindrical shape). Then slice each of them vertically into two halves. Then slice them again vertically so that they look like fries.
In a mixing bowl combine chickpea flour,oregano, cayenne pepper powder, salt and dairy free milk. Whip it up and make a thick batter. Keep panko crumbs ready in a separate bowl/plate.
Now, toss zucchini pieces into chickpea batter and mix gently with a spoon.
Then, take each zucchini slice that's well covered with the batter and roll them in panko crumbs generously. ( roll one zucchini slice at a time to get the neat pieces as the end result).
Place them in the air fryer basket. Grease them with cooking spray and attach the air fryer basket with air fryer and turn it on at 350-degree Fahrenheit and air fry them for 10 minutes. If it is crispy enough for you then take them out or else air fry them for another 5 minutes. (Do not exceed 15 minutes or else they will burn).
Serve immediately with your choice of dip.

Notes

For oven option: Cover the cookie sheet with a parchment paper and place each zucchini slices at regular gaps. Grease them with cooking spray and then, place the cookie sheet in a pre-heated oven and bake it at 425-degree Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
This recipe tastes best when served immediately.
This recipe makes 24 zucchini fries and the serving size is 4 fries each person.
