Korean carrot salad is one of those simple recipes that tastes far better than the ingredient list suggests. The carrots stay crisp, while the garlic, vinegar, paprika, sesame seeds, and hot oil create a bold dressing that is tangy, savory, slightly spicy, and seriously addictive.
It is especially good after a few hours in the refrigerator, when the carrots soak up all that flavor without losing their crunch. Serve it with grilled meat, rice, sandwiches, or eat it straight from the container whenever you need something fresh and punchy.
Peel the carrots, then cut them into long, thin strips using a julienne peeler or sharp knife. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the minced garlic, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, and sesame seeds. Toss thoroughly until the carrots are evenly coated.
Transfer the seasoned carrots and all the liquid from the bowl to a large, room-temperature, heat-safe jar. Leave some empty space at the top so the carrots can move when shaken.
Heat the avocado oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to shimmer but does not smoke.
Carefully pour the hot oil into the jar, aiming it over the garlic, spices, and sesame seeds. Secure the lid, hold the jar with a kitchen towel, and shake well until the oil and seasonings are evenly distributed.
Let the jar cool to room temperature, then refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours. For the best flavor, leave it overnight.
Shake the jar again before serving.
Store Korean carrot salad in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. Stir or toss before serving to redistribute the dressing.

These crispy zucchini rings might be my new favorite way to use up a few zucchini. The outside gets golden and crunchy from a simple Parmesan and breadcrumb coating, while the zucchini stays tender in the middle. But the best part is that nothing goes to waste—the centers you cut out are blended into a creamy, tangy zucchini dip for serving.
You can make the rings in the oven or air fryer, and they work just as well as a snack, appetizer, or easy side dish. Serve them hot, pile them around the dip, and don’t expect the plate to stay full for long.
For a vegan version, use plant-based Parmesan.
Plant-based plain yogurt can be used if needed.
Preheat the oven or air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the zucchini into rounds about 3/4 inch thick. Use a small round cutter, apple corer, or clean bottle cap to remove the center of each slice. Set the centers aside for the dip.
Place the zucchini rings in a large bowl and toss them with the olive oil.
Add the cornstarch, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the rings are evenly coated. Add more breadcrumbs as needed until the coating clings without feeling wet.
Arrange the zucchini rings in a single layer, leaving a little space between them.
Bake or air fry for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden and crisp. Begin checking the air fryer around the 18-minute mark, since models cook differently.
Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the reserved zucchini centers with a pinch of salt and cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly browned.
Transfer them to a blender or food processor. Add the lemon juice, Greek yogurt, tahini, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Serve the zucchini rings hot with the creamy zucchini dip on the side.
For extra flavor, sprinkle the rings with a little more Parmesan and paprika while they are still warm.
These crispy zucchini rings are too good to forget—save the image below to Pinterest and keep the recipe handy.
Don’t slice the zucchini too thin. Rings that are about 3/4 inch thick hold their shape better and give you a good contrast between the crisp coating and tender center.
Use panko for more crunch. Regular breadcrumbs work, but panko gives the coating a lighter, crispier texture.
Add the breadcrumbs gradually. Start with 1/2 cup and add more only if needed. The exact amount depends on how much moisture the zucchini releases and how large the zucchini are.
Leave space between the rings. Crowding the baking sheet or air fryer basket traps steam, which makes the coating softer instead of crisp.
Flip carefully. Turn the rings once during cooking so both sides brown evenly, but use a thin spatula or tongs to avoid knocking off the coating.
Serve them right away. Zucchini naturally contains a lot of moisture, so the rings are at their crispiest straight from the oven or air fryer.
Make the dip while the rings cook. The reserved zucchini centers soften quickly, so the dip comes together in the same time it takes the rings to finish.
