It is the perfect side dish for a nice burger (bunless of course) or Blackened Chicken.

What are zucchini fries?
Zucchini fries are zucchini sliced into fry shapes and lightly breaded then baked. Let me break it down for you. Slice zucchini into fry shapes that are thinner than steak fries but a little thicker than fast food fries. You can watch the video if you aren’t sure. Pat the zucchini dry and set aside. Use two shallow bowls to create a breading station. In one bowl beat an egg and a low carb Ranch dressing. The second bowl you will combine the almond flour, spices and parmesan. Dip the zucchini in the egg and make sure it coats all sides, then dip in the breading. Once your fries are breaded lay them in a single layer on a large baking sheet. I highly recommend using these silicone baking mats, they will not stick and it makes clean up a breeze.
