The zucchini fry is a classic dish that has been enjoyed by people of all ages for centuries. The earliest known recipe for zucchini fries dates back to the 16th century, and it is believed that the dish originated in Italy. Over the years, the zucchini fry has spread to many other countries, and it is now a popular dish all over the world. There are many different ways to make zucchini fries, but the most common method is to bread them and then fry them in hot oil. However, this method can be time-consuming and unhealthy. In this recipe, we use a healthier method of baking the zucchini fries in the oven. This method results in a crispy fry that is just as delicious as the traditional fried version. The key to making great zucchini fries is to use fresh, high-quality zucchini. The zucchini should be firm and have a deep green color. You should also avoid using zucchini that is too large, as it will be more difficult to cut into fries. Once you have selected your zucchini, you need to cut it into fries. The fries should be about 1/2-inch thick and 3-4 inches long. Once the fries are cut, you can bread them in a mixture of almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. The almond flour will help to create a crispy crust, while the Parmesan cheese will add flavor. The garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper will add a savory flavor to the fries. Once the fries are breaded, you can bake them in a preheated oven. The fries should be baked for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Once the fries are done baking, you can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce.
