- Y'all, we're at number four
0:02
of the five days of air frying cooking,
0:06
because we gonna shave little bit off our belly,
0:08
a little bit off our hips, maybe.
0:13
But you know what?
0:17
You think we'll last past two weeks, y'all?
0:23
Our intentions are good
0:25
our intentions are real good.
0:27
So I'm gonna try to last at least three weeks, (laughs)
0:35
or maybe a month.
0:38
That's what I'm gonna shoot for,
0:39
so I'm just gonna take each day as it comes.
0:44
All right, so what I'm sharing with y'all today is,
0:51
so a little piece of that egg that got hard.
0:55
So I'm just beating my eggs up,
1:00
and I'm using two whole eggs,
1:02
but I'm discarding the white part of one of them.
1:07
So this is two yolks and a white.
1:10
- [Teresa] What you making, Paula?
1:11
- I thought I would tell them, Teresa,
1:14
I was about to do it not tell them.
1:16
I am doing, I love French fries, y'all.
1:20
I adore a potato.
1:24
So since I'm not eating French fries right now,
1:29
I am going to make us some crispy zucchini fries.
1:34
And I love zucchini too.
1:36
Now, I don't think there's a picture,
1:38
and naturally, I'm cooking it.
1:39
I'm using the "Air Fryer Cookbook."
1:48
Look at that, look at that.
1:50
Doesn't that look delicious?
1:52
- Flip back to the rest- - All right,
1:53
well we're not gonna do that,
1:54
And that loop deletion, flip back to the right.
1:57
Don't do that because we're not eating Mimi bacon right now.
2:01
- [Teresa] So you teased them?
2:02
- [Paula] Yes, i teased my own tone.
2:04
- [Teresa] We're doing this for those that like to see all
2:06
of the measurements, just in case you are wondering
2:09
- [Paula] It's real simple, our zucchini we,
2:13
you don't peel it or anything you just cut it
2:18
into like four-inch pieces that like you would a French fry
2:23
and we have our flour,
2:27
and we gonna put our flour in that container,
2:31
and we gonna mix a little salt and a little pepper.
2:40
Not much, cause we gonna salt it one more time.
2:44
Oh righty, you know what I think I'm gonna move that
2:49
to a bigger bowl
2:51
so that I won't be so
2:52
crowded when I'm trying to my zucchini.
3:03
Okay.
3:06
And the last mixture is your flour.
3:15
- [Teresa] and Parmesan cheese.
3:16
- [Paula] all right, So let's see
3:17
I'm thinking I'll have to get a bigger bowl now,
3:25
because this is, I think it will be for hard
3:28
for me to drainage, you know, in these small bowls.
3:32
Okay. Y'all I, I think I got the situation
3:36
in hand and got all the right size bowls.
3:39
So I've got my all purpose flour here
3:43
and I'm gonna add my Parmesan cheese to that.
3:49
- [Teresa] Can I stop you?
3:50
- [Paula] We gonna start out,
3:51
by deeping our zucchini into our flour mixture,
4:00
and that might just go in and put all of it right in there,
4:05
and let it be sitting about a second with all layer.
4:15
I'm just gonna put it right back in that bowl because,
4:24
we go and dip or zucchini now into our egg mixture,
4:30
and then the last step is our,
4:36
Japanese breadcrumbs which I adore.
4:39
Even when I'm frying my chicken,
4:44
I love pinko, on my fried chicken, i love it on my shrimp.
4:50
Now I'm gonna use some smoked paprika
4:55
and this smells so delicious.
4:59
You really can't tell that that paprika has been smoked.
5:04
All right, so we'll move this out of the way,
5:06
and then I'm gonna come over here
5:09
and I'm gonna turn my Zucchini into the egg,
5:16
and then into my breadcrumbs and code,
5:24
love making pin code.
5:27
And I'm probably gonna need some more pain code Theresa.
5:30
I don't think this is going to be enough to get us through
5:34
cause I wanna make sure it's nice and coded.
5:42
Eddie,
5:43
can you be Teresa for a second and get me some pin code.
5:49
it's outside.
5:52
All right, now I'm gonna go ahead as I get these dusted.
5:57
- [Teresa] I'm gonna to come around.
5:59
- [Paula] I'm gonna move this closer to us
6:02
Teresa sounds good.
6:05
- [Teresa] Yum, you know, Paula,
6:07
- [Paula] What?
6:08
- [Teresa] I know,
6:09
that we're supposed to be doing this healthy
6:10
but I think you should put some Parmesan cheese
6:12
over on when you, before you cook them.
6:15
- [Paula] Okay I'll do it if that's what you want.
6:18
- [Teresa] That's just my opinion.
6:20
- [Paula] Okay, well your opinion counts.
6:24
Oh, thank you Eddie,
6:27
We don't want to be skimpy on our breadcrumbs.
6:34
It makes it so much easier
6:36
- [Teresa] Our hero.
6:37
- [Paula] Yes, It makes it so much easier to code.
6:43
If you don't have to dig for your pin codes.
6:48
All right, now I have used the recipe calls yawn
6:51
for to average time, you know, two nice zucchinis.
6:59
And, but we're just doing one
7:03
because there's just the three of us here,
7:06
Michael's not here to eat them all
7:10
up so we don't get filed with just one zucchini.
7:16
And I swear, I'm gonna feel so
7:20
indulging eating these zucchini fries.
7:33
Look at that one
7:34
that's a center cut, love a center cut of the French fries.
7:39
Don't ask me why?
7:41
see why it takes so much pin code
7:45
because I was so much sticks to your fingers.
7:48
So we lose a lot in the process.
8:05
- [Teresa] Now you might actually, depending on the size
8:07
of your air fryer, you may have to do these in batches
8:11
which is what the actual recipe says.
8:13
You don't wanna lay up i mean,
8:17
you don't want to put them on top of each other.
8:19
- [Paula] You want to actually put them side by side
8:22
Eddie, I'm gonna need some more pain
8:24
go, honey.
8:25
- [Teresa] Note to self recipe needs much more pancup.
8:30
- [Paula] Yeah I don't know what I was thinking
8:31
- [Eddie] Keep her on notice.
8:32
- [Paula] Yeah i don't know what I was thinking.
8:43
Okay, here we go.
8:49
[Paula] Yum.
8:50
- [Teresa] Yeah, thank you, Eddie
8:53
that makes all the difference in world.
9:01
- [Teresa] This recipe makes a lot
9:02
because look at how much zucchini still have.
9:05
- [Paula] I know and you talking about, well
9:07
French fries are inexpensive too,
9:09
but you know what I mean?
9:12
this is just like, Pinis probably the most expensive part
9:16
of this is you're pan cup because it does take a good bit.
9:23
Okay, we got them all with y'all and look in there,
9:27
Eddie can you get in their
9:29
Eddie's back behind the camera
9:31
and Teresa is back to directing.
9:35
- [Paula Laughing] .
9:36
You know what?
9:37
These two people,
9:38
they can change their hair and the drop of a minute.
9:44
That's what we call good.
9:47
All right, we gonna cook these for five minutes
9:53
and then I'm gonna turn them and I'm going to spray them
9:55
on the other side and cook them for five more minutes.
9:59
And these looks so good, but that's all right.
10:07
Okay.
10:09
- [Teresa] Should be set because I did it.
10:11
- [Paula] Yeah, five minutes is four hundred
10:14
- [Paula] You did Teresa?
10:15
- [Teresa} I'm impressed of myself.
10:16
- [Paula] I'm impressed with you too.
10:21
So all I have to do is trace.
10:22
Magic!
10:24
Okay. Y'all it's been four minutes.
10:31
I think this is about me.
10:31
- [Paula Spraying] .
10:34
All right, so we've got them turned and sprayed
10:39
and now we gonna go for four more minutes.
10:43
- [Teresa] You may have to reset.
10:44
- [Paula] I'm gonna hit air fryer.
10:46
Well, first I'm gonna hit my head and I'm gonna
10:49
hit air fryer
10:51
and I'm gonna back up to 400,
10:55
for, four more minutes.
11:10
I sat on my grandchildren and teaching me Spanish.
11:11
- [Paula Laughing] .
11:14
The machine just went off.
11:16
Thanks and I have a French fry.
11:21
look at that actually, I'm going to have a zucchini fries
11:26
and those that have followed me for a long, long time.
11:30
Y'all probably know this about me
11:34
that my French fries in mayonnaise.
11:38
I love mayonnaise with my French fries,
11:42
and I found
11:42
out my trainer actually showed me how good mayonnaise was
11:52
with French fries and from the second I tried it
11:55
I I've never gone back to a naked fry.
11:59
And I found out later that it's very European,
12:05
that Europeans eat mayonnaise on their fries.
12:09
And I had no way of knowing
12:11
that that my trainer was teaching me something.
12:15
It was half a liter.
12:17
- [Eddie] I love mayonnaise and vinegar on the cross.
12:21
- [Paula] Yes you got the fryer,
12:24
and you get the vinegar, French fries.
12:27
And you tell the little squeeze bottle
12:29
of mayonnaise in your pocket.
12:31
I'm goodie.
12:38
You know the crunch I need salt, like all good fries.
12:44
Oh,the crunch all over yawn is very satisfying to me.
12:56
It's like, i really had a French fry.
13:01
Crunch Eddie.
13:06
- [Eddie] I can hear.
13:10
- [Paula] I just want some mayonnaise.
13:12
- [Eddie] Well don't look behind you,
13:13
but there's a refrigerator.
13:16
- [Paula] All right, I'm just going to just one minute.
13:26
This is one whole minute, now I'm getting nervous.
13:28
Cause I know I'm feeding.
13:37
