Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

FOR TOMATO COULIS
1 pound ripe tomatoes, peeled, cored, and diced
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon minced shallot or onion
2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
FOR FRIES
1 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise into 2-inch-long pieces 1/4 inch thick

Steps:

  • Combine the coulis ingredients in a blender and pureé. Transfer to a sauté pan and cook over medium heat until fragrant and warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Place the flour in another medium bowl and the eggs in a smaller bowl. Dip the zucchini sticks first in the flour until lightly coated, then in the beaten eggs. Roll them in the bread-crumb mixture until well covered.
  • Transfer the zucchini pieces to a nonstick baking sheet and bake until the zucchini is tender but the coating is crisp, about 20 minutes. Let the fries cool slightly before eating. Serve with the coulis as a dipping sauce.

I've made these zucchini fries several times now and they are always a hit! They are so easy to make and they are always delicious. The tomato coulis dipping sauce is the perfect complement to the fries. I highly recommend this recipe.

These zucchini fries were good, but not great. The fries were a little too soft for my taste, and the tomato coulis dipping sauce was a bit too bland. I would probably make these again, but I would make some adjustments to the recipe.

I made these zucchini fries for a party and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them. I especially liked the tomato coulis dipping sauce. It was so flavorful and really brought out the flavor of the fries. I will definitely be making these again.
