Ohhh, wait till you make these air fryer bacon wrapped zucchini fries! The whole test kitchen couldn’t stop eating them. In fact, we had to make a triple batch because they were THAT good
Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Zucchini Fries (or wedges)
These strips of amazing crispy zucchini are a fantastic side dish and a fantastic as an appetizer too. The crispy salty outside of the bacon combined with the fresh bite of crisp zucchini is amazing. It’s such a great combination of flavors and textures. When Summer gives you tons of zucchini or summer squash, these delicious bites are perfect to share. We love crispy bacon, so we like cooking these a little longer. The zucchini still will be tasty because zucchini has so much moisture in it already. The little extra cooking time will just make the bacon taste better!

Ingredients
- 1 lb. (454 g) zucchini (2 small-medium zucchini)
- 8 slices bacon , (cut in half lengthwise) (or as much bacon as needed)
- oil spray
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) garlic powder
- salt , to taste
- black pepper , to taste
Equipment
Instructions
- Cut the zucchinis in half lengthwise and then into wedges, 1-inch (2.5cm) at the base (usually quartered for small-medium sized zucchini). Lightly spray zucchini with oil. Season all sides with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Wrap with bacon and then season with extra black pepper (optional). Toothpick the bacon into the zucchini to stay in place, and then put in the air fryer basket/tray.
- Air Fry at 380°F for 10-16 minutes or until the bacon is crispy to your liking. Flip zucchini half way through cooking. Allow to cool for a couple minutes before serving (zucchini will be very hot). Remove toothpicks before eating.
Notes
If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).

I love this recipe for my low-carb diet. It really takes my craving for something savory away.
I’m loving this recipe. It’s the best healthy appetizer I’ve been making all Summer long.
These bacon wrapped zucchini fries were amazing. Everyone at the Summer cookout loved it.
I cooked them in my larger air fryer for an extra 6 minutes to get them extra crispy. And it probably took longer cause it’s a bigger air fryer. Thanks so much for the great recipe!
