Crispy Baked Zucchini Fries are a delightful twist on traditional chips, offering a healthier alternative without sacrificing flavour. To prepare them, begin by slicing fresh zucchini into thin, uniform strips. These are then lightly coated in a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated cheese, seasoned with a pinch of salt, pepper, and perhaps a hint of garlic powder for an extra kick.

Once arranged in a single layer on a baking tray, the fries are baked until golden brown and irresistibly crunchy. The result is a scrumptious snack or side dish, perfect for dipping in tangy marinara sauce or a cool garlic aioli. Ideal for summer gatherings or a cosy evening snack, these zucchini fries are sure to impress both adults and children alike.
