Method
- 1
Pat the courgette sticks dry with kitchen paper; surface water stops the crumbs sticking.

Put the flour on one plate and the beaten egg in a shallow bowl. Mix the panko, cheese, oregano and salt on a third plate.
- 3
Coat the sticks in flour, then egg, then press into the crumb mixture.
- 4
Heat the air fryer to 200C. Spray the basket, then arrange the fries in a single layer. Spray the tops lightly.
- 5
Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp. Cook in two batches.
11 min - 6
Stir the yoghurt, lemon juice and garlic together with a pinch of salt. Serve with the hot fries.
