2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Squash     Zucchini

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

¾ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon seasoned salt
1 (9 inch) zucchini, peeled
¼ cup margarine or butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil lightly greased with cooking spray.
  • Cut the peeled zucchini in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Slice the zucchini ito 1/2 x 1/2 x 4 inch pieces.
  • Combine the bread crumbs, cheese, and seasoned salt in a pie plate. Dip the zucchini fries into the melted margarine, then press into bread crumbs. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded zucchini onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the zucchini in the preheated oven until the fries are golden and tender, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Look for firm, medium-sized zucchini with smooth, blemish-free skin. Avoid zucchini that are too large, as they may be tough and seedy.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife to cut the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  • Coat the zucchini slices in cornstarch: This will help them get crispy. Make sure to shake off any excess cornstarch before baking.
  • Bake the zucchini slices at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy and golden brown. Bake them at 450°F for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
  • Make the tomato coulis dipping sauce while the zucchini fries are baking: This will give the flavors time to meld. Simply combine chopped tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, basil, and salt and pepper in a saucepan and simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Conclusion:

Baked zucchini fries are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Serve them with the tomato coulis dipping sauce for a complete and satisfying meal.
