Baked Zucchini Fries

Love Zucchini Brownies? It’s proof that you can make some amazing zucchini recipes that the whole family will enjoy.

Over the weekend, I bought a large fresh Zucchini from the Farmers Market. Impulse struck when I realized that I have never cooked with Zucchini. Ever.

Since I like to try new recipes and cooking with new ingredients, I thought ‘why not?’ and paid the elderly local man with the fresh veggie stand.

Immediately I thought of making the ever popular Zucchini Bread {my friend makes the best ever}, yet I wanted to try something new. A dish that was completely new to me.

Yet, I had to keep the kids in mind, something that they will actually try {and hopefully like}.

So, I came across a recipe for Baked Zucchini Fries, and altered it for what I had on hand.

This recipe for Baked Zucchini Fries is something which I’d consider a side, or a replica of a fancy appetizer you’d get at a restaurant.

It’s really good, and healthier than reaching for standard fries. Pair it was a Marinara sauce for dip – Mmmm. I just love this dip with the crispy spiced zucchini.

My tip is to cut the Zucchini into thin strips, or the insides will be mushy. This is a good thing, if you’d prefer it that way.

Yet I wanted it to resemble fries and not just spiced Zucchini bits, so the thinner, the better for us.

Enjoy!

    thanks – i really enjoy zucchini. the high water content is really something to take into account when cooking with it – but your tip on cutting the sticks really thin is very helpful. they look great!

      Yes! There were a couple that were larger and thus, more watery – not as good. Glad I did that so I could learn the tip!
