Summary

An easy recipe for 4 servings. It takes about 55 minutes to make. Each serving has about 266 kcal. It is nut-free and sugar-free.

Courgette sticks coated in breadcrumbs and Parmesan, crunchy outside and juicy inside, made in the air fryer with very little oil. With a garlicky yoghurt dip they make a light snack and an easy way to get children eating vegetables.

Ingredients

4 servings

40 g Wheat flour
2 u Egg
1 tablespoon Olive oil (sprayed or brushed on)
1 clove Garlic (grated or very finely chopped)
2 u Courgette (medium, about 500 g)
1 teaspoon Salt (most of it to draw water from the courgettes, plus a pinch for the dip)
150 g Greek Yogurt (for the dip)
1 teaspoon Oregano (dried)
60 g Breadcrumbs (ideally panko)
40 g Parmesan (finely grated)

Instructions

Cut the courgettes into sticks 1 cm thick and about 8 cm long. Put them in a colander, sprinkle with most of the salt, toss and leave them to release their water for 15 minutes. Then pat them thoroughly dry with kitchen paper, pressing lightly.
15 min
Meanwhile, make the dip by mixing the yoghurt with the garlic and a pinch of salt, and keep it in the fridge. Set out three plates: one with the flour, one with the beaten eggs and one with the breadcrumbs, Parmesan and oregano mixed together.
5 min
Dip each stick in the flour (shake off the excess), then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing so it is well coated.
10 min
Preheat the air fryer to 190 °C for 3 minutes. Lay the sticks in the basket in a single layer, not touching (in two batches if needed), and spray or brush the tops with oil.
3 min
Cook for 10 minutes at 190 °C, turning them carefully after 5 minutes and adding a little oil to the upper side. They are ready when the coating is golden and crisp. Repeat with the second batch.
20 min
Let them rest for 2 minutes on a wire rack so they do not go soggy underneath, and serve at once with the yoghurt dip.

Notes

In Italy, breaded or fried courgette sticks (zucchine fritte or impanate) are a much-loved summer antipasto; here the Parmesan in the coating adds flavour and helps them brown. Courgettes are almost all water, so the step that matters most is salting and drying them before breading: skip it and the coating goes soft and slides off. Choose firm, medium courgettes, which have fewer seeds. Every air fryer heats differently, so check after 8 minutes the first time; in oven-style models, use the wire rack tray and move it to a different shelf halfway. In a conventional oven, bake them on a rack at 220 °C (fan) for 18-20 minutes, turning them halfway. They are best straight away; leftovers keep for one day in the fridge and can be reheated in the air fryer at 180 °C for 3-4 minutes. Traditional Parmesan is made with animal rennet: for a vegetarian version, use a grated hard cheese made with vegetarian rennet. Instead of the yoghurt dip you can serve them with aioli or tomato sauce. You can also cut 5 mm rounds instead of sticks: they turn out like crisps and need about 2 minutes less.
