Baked Zucchini Fries
• Do not overcrowd the tray; airflow is key for crispiness. • For extra crunch, bake on a wire rack placed over a sheet pan. • These are best eaten fresh out of the oven for maximum crisp texture. • Serve with dips such as Roasted Red Pepper Dip or Thousand Island Dip for added flavor and variety. Health Benefits: Zucchini is low in calories but high in water and fiber, supporting digestion and hydration. Baking instead of frying reduces added fats while still delivering a satisfying crispy texture. Pairing with flavorful dips can increase vegetable intake and meal satisfaction without relying on heavy sauces.
