Baked Zucchini Fries

1.

Zucchini fries are a healthier alternative to traditional French fries, and they are just as delicious. They are easy to make, and you can customize the seasoning to suit your taste. They are a perfect appetizer or side dish for a family dinner or a party. This recipe is baked, not fried, which makes it a healthier option, but they still come out crispy and delicious.

I love zucchini fries because they are easy to make, and they are a healthier option than traditional fries. I often make them as a side dish for dinner or as a snack when I'm craving something salty. My kids love them too, and they are a great way to get them to eat more vegetables. I like to serve them with a dipping sauce like marinara or ranch.
