🥒 Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Large zucchinis | 2 |
| Olive oil | 2 tablespoons |
| Salt | 1 teaspoon |
👩‍🍳 How to Make Them
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash the zucchinis and slice them into fry-shaped strips—thin and even for the best results.
Step 2: Season
Arrange the zucchini strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle salt over the top for flavor.
Step 3: Bake to Perfection
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the fries are golden and crisp around the edges. Flip them halfway through for even browning.
Step 4: Cool & Enjoy
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
âś… Tips for Best Results
- Even Slices: Cutting the zucchini into uniform pieces ensures they all cook at the same rate.
- Pat Dry First: Dab the zucchini with a paper towel before baking to help remove extra moisture—this helps achieve a crisp texture.
- Customize the Flavor: Feel free to add extra seasonings like garlic powder, smoked paprika, or Italian herbs to switch things up.
- Watch Closely: Depending on your oven and how thin you slice them, baking time may vary. Keep an eye on them toward the end to prevent burning.
