But, have you ever tried zucchini transformed into crispy, mouth-watering fries using an air fryer? Let’s dive into the world of zucchini fries and how you can make this amazing snack at home.

The History of Zucchini

Originating in Central and South America, zucchini has been part of the human diet since around 7,000 to 5,500 BC. However, the zucchini we know today was developed in Italy in the late 19th century. From there, it spread across Europe and the rest of the world, becoming a staple in various culinary traditions.

Zucchini Around the World

Zucchini goes by different names depending on where you are. In the United States and Australia, it’s commonly known as zucchini, from the Italian 'zucchina'. In the UK and France, it's referred to as courgette, a French diminutive of 'courge' meaning squash. Each culture has its unique way of cooking this versatile vegetable, but one delicious method has gained popularity worldwide: turning them into zucchini fries!
