I love these! Every year I grow zucchini in the garden and I try to find creative ways to use it up! My girls don’t actually like zucchini however, when I made this they couldn’t eat enough! Now they actually request these oven baked zucchini fries!
Chipotle mayo is the perfect dipper for these… but if you prefer ranch or warm marinara are great choices too! These are also perfect if you’re watching your waistline since they’re oven baked! All of the flavor and crunch from the panko bread crumbs without the fat or grease!
These are fairly simple to make… the batch you see here I actually made myself for lunch one day! Both tasty and satisfying, these are perfect as a snack or a side dish!

Chipotle in adobo…what is this. I’ve never bought this before. Thank you
It’s a spicy smoked pepper usually found in the Mexican food aisle. You can also buy them online here.
Looks grrat . Do you bake them at a high temp of 400-450 or more around 375?
I bake them at 400 to crisp the outside.
I’m always overloaded with zucchini in the summer. My husband will pretty much only eat them fried but maybe I can trick him with these
Great post!!
Do you spray just the parchment paper with cooking spray or spay both the “fries” and the paper.
Just the zucchini fries need to be sprayed.
Could you please tell me the calorie count for these. Thank you.
