These zucchini fries are not only tasty but also packed with nutrients. Zucchini is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and folate. Plus, they’re low in calories and high in fiber, making them a great choice for anyone looking to incorporate more vegetables into their diet.
I love making these zucchini fries for my family as a healthier alternative to regular fries. They’re crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and incredibly addictive! My kids can’t get enough of them, and I love that they’re getting an extra serving of veggies without even realizing it. Whether you serve them as an appetizer, snack, or side dish, these Vegan Baked Zucchini Fries are sure to be a hit with everyone!
