Baked Zucchini Fries

I had some zucchini in the fridge and I want to do something different.

My solution?

Baked zucchini fries.

There are so many great ways to use up zucchini, but this one has won my heart.  Healthy, crispy, tender, delicious, easy to make. Great alternative to fries and even the kid couldn’t get enough crunchy goodness.

I adapted these fries from Health after I discovered them last year and they have quickly become a staple at our house.  They are a perfect little appetizer, side dish for sandwiches, or even a great after school snack.  They are inexpensive, virtually guilt free, and totally painless way to get your veggies. These were amazing dipped in marinara sauce or ranch.
