Method

1. Wash the zucchini and cut them into sticks about 1 cm thick.
2. In a bowl, mix the instant polenta with grated parmesan, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
3. Lightly brush the zucchini sticks with half of the olive oil, then toss them in the cornmeal mixture until well coated.
4. Place the sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook at 200°C for 12-15 minutes until golden and crispy.
5. Meanwhile, prepare the dip by mixing the Greek yogurt with lemon juice, the remaining oil, and chopped chives.
6. Serve the hot zucchini fries immediately with the cold yogurt sauce on the side.

Tips

• For maximum crunch, don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in two batches if necessary.
• If you don't have an air fryer, use a ventilated oven at 210°C for about 20 minutes.
