For this Friday Faves, I’ve got the perfect crunchy snack—Crispy Baked Zucchini Fries! They’re golden, crispy and completely oil-free, making them a guilt-free alternative to traditional fries. Perfect for dipping while watching your favorite movie!
Quick Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 large zucchini, cut into fry shapes
- ½ cup breadcrumbs (use panko for extra crunch!)
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup unsweetened plant milk
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, garlic powder and salt in a bowl.
- Dip zucchini fries into plant milk, then coat in breadcrumb mixture.
- Arrange on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Serve with your favorite plant-based dip!
Crispy, savory and totally plant-powered—these zucchini fries are a must-try. Let me know if you give them a go!
Do you recall your mom using crushed (with a rolling pin) Saltine crackers to “bread” things live veggies or chicken?
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
