step 1
Heat a medium saucepan over a medium-high heat with 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the tomatoes (200 g), garlic (2 cloves) and a pinch of salt. Cook for 5-10 minutes, until the tomatoes soften, then mash with a fork to make a rough sauce. Stir in 1 tsp Italian seasoning (1 tsp) and the sugar (1/2 tsp). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
step 2
Meanwhile, place the flour (100 g), egg (1) and breadcrumbs (100 g) into three separate bowls. Season the flour with a pinch of salt and mix the remaining Italian seasoning (2 tsp) into the breadcrumbs.
step 3
Coat the courgette batons (2) in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs.
step 4
Heat the air fryer to 200°C. Add the courgette in an even layer and spray with olive oil (as needed). Air fry for 10-12 minutes until golden and crisp. You may have to do this in two batches.
step 5
Serve the courgette fritti with the cherry tomato marinara and finish with a pinch of flaky salt.
