Baked Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Fries

Few weeks back while browsing through Facebook, I saw this video of zucchini fries from Tasty. The fries looked so appetizing and it was baked, not deep fried! I couldn’t wait for the weekend to try my hands at making these zucchini fries. Saturday came and I was all set with my ingredients. To be frank, I was not expecting the fries to be crunchy, but they were super crunchy and delicious!!

I baked the fries again next weekend adding more flavor this time. I used dried garlic bits, Italian seasoning mix and chilli flakes. When you take the fries out from oven, it will be slightly sticking to the pan. The key is to leave the fries in the baking sheet for 5 minutes, before transferring to a serving dish. I couldn’t wait for the photo session to get over to attack these fries!! Enjoy them as such or serve with mayonnaise, chilli or tomato sauce. Do try these crispy baked zucchini fries and make sure to bake a big batch as these are too addictive!!!
