These zucchini chips make great party food, served with a flavour-packed aioli. In this recipe, the zucchini fries are coated in polenta, parmesan and garlic salt before cooking, resulting in a crunchy exterior.

Ingredients

1 egg

½ cup (85g) polenta

1/3 cup (25g) finely grated parmesan

1 tsp garlic salt

2 large zucchini (300g), cut into 1cm thick batons

olive oil cooking spray

½ cup (150g) whole-egg mayonnaise

1 tbsp lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, crushed

¼ cup finely chopped chives

to serve: sea salt flakes

Method

Lightly beat egg in a large bowl. Combine polenta, parmesan and garlic salt in another large bowl, then season with pepper. Add zucchini batons to egg and toss to coat, then dust in polenta mixture, shaking off excess; spray all over with oil.

Preheat a 7-litre air fryer to 200°C for 3 minutes.

Spray the air fryer basket generously with oil. Taking care, place half the zucchini chips in the basket; at 200°C, cook for 12 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time, until golden and tender. Transfer to a plate; cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat cooking with remaining zucchini chips.

Meanwhile, to make aïoli, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the chives in a small bowl; season.

Sprinkle zucchini chips with salt flakes and remaining chives. Serve with aïoli.
