Delicious Crispy Oven Zucchini Fries Recipe Satisfies a Craving
For an extra kick, serve with creamy ranch dip!
French fries are my weakness. What can I say – I’ll go go for a salty bite over a sweet treat any day. But lately I’ve been wanting to eat healthier foods and get more vegetables into my diet. That’s why I love this Crispy Oven Zucchini Fries recipe. With only 155 calories and 2 grams of fat per serving, it satisfies a craving practically guilt-free.
Zucchini is a good source of fiber. It’s loaded with good-for-you nutrients like potassium, vitamin C and B6 too. We coat the veggie sticks in panko, Parmesan and smoked paprika. The breadcrumbs and cheese create a crunchy coating while the paprika adds delicious savory flavor. Then bake at a high oven temperature with just a spritz of cooking spray so there’s a lot less fat. They turn out so crispy outside and tender inside no one will guess they’re baked instead of fried. Give ’em a try then let us know what you think.
