Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp tomato paste;
- 115g | 4oz | ½ cup mayonnaise;
- Vegetable oil cooking spray;
- 130g | 4.5oz | 1½ cups panko breadcrumbs;
- 2 tbsp water;

- Dip each courgette stick first into the flour, then into the egg wash, and finally coat well with the panko breadcrumbs.
- Spray the air fryer basket with vegetable oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the breaded courgette sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to cook them in batches).
- Cook at 325°F for about 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through the cooking time.
