Crispy Baked Zucchini Fries
Crispy baked zucchini fries that are super healthy, vegan, crunchy, and delicious.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs (I made my own *see note)
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp onion powder
- a few dashes black pepper (I used about 4 dashes)
- 1/4 cup almond milk (I used unsweetened vanilla)
Instructions
Prep Work
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Chop ends off zucchinis, then cut them in half, and cut halves into small matchstick shapes. The thinner you make them, the crispier they will get.
- Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Coating the Fries
- Dip each fry lightly in your bowl of almond milk, and then coat them in the bread crumb mixture using one of two methods.
- You can either sprinkle the mixture on with a spoon, or roll the fries directly in the mixture. The rolling method will coat the fries more heavily, but you might lose a bit of the mixture at the end, as it will absorb some of the milk and get soggy at the bottom (so it won't stick to the fries).
Baking the Fries
- Transfer your fries to a lined baking sheet.
- Bake for about 30 - 35 mintues, or until your fries are nice and crispy. The larger your fries are, the longer they will take, so keep a close eye on them to make sure they don't burn.
- Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces, like mustard, ketchup, or even hummus!
Notes
*I made my own bread crumbs by toasting two slices of Nature's Own 100% whole wheat bread and then blending the toast up into small crumbs in my NutriBullet Blender. You can make your own at home using the same method or you can use store bought bread crumbs.
