How To Make Baked Zucchini Fries

Like most people, I can always go for a large bowl of homemade potato french fries. But why not switch it up for a heaping pile of baked zucchini fries?

In this recipe, feel free to switch up the seasonings for your favorites. There’s a lot of room to experiment. Other seasonings you can consider instead of the ones listed in the recipe include:

1. Smoked Paprika
2. Garam Masala
3. Dried Parsley
4. Black Pepper
5. Cayenne Pepper
6. Onion Salt
7. Cumin

For this recipe, I want an Italian recipe feel – so I added dry basil leaves. I also added a pinch of nutritional yeast to bring forward a more cheesy or nutty flavor.

My favorite parts about this baked zucchini fries recipe are that it’s gluten-free, vegan, oil-free and perfectly delicious. It also uses easy-to-find ingredients and can be whipped up in just 30 minutes.

How To Make Vegan Zucchini Fries

Tired of regular potato fries to pair with that veggie burger? Switch it up with something much tastier – crispy zucchini fries.

Ingredients

  

• 1 yellow zucchini
• 1/4 cup vegan milk
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon dry basil leaves
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to your liking)

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 425 F degrees. Line up a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Cut ends of the zucchini and cut length-ways in half. Cut into fries/strips.
• In a bowl, make the breading mix by combining garlic powder, nutritional yeast, dry basil leaves, and salt.
• Dip zucchini strip into vegan milk. Roll it around the breading mix. Place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake at 425 F degrees for 30 minutes, turning halfway.

Notes

1. Make a second batch of breading, if need be. If you start to notice the breading starting to clump together, it’s time for a fresh batch.
