Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease metal pan with nonstick spray.
- Slice zucchini lengthwise into fries. Each zucchini should produce about 10 to 12 fries.
- Pat zucchini fries dry with paper towels.
- Pour milk into a shallow bowl. Combine tapioca flour, onion powder, garlic powder, nutritional yeast and ground pepper in another shallow bowl.
- Dip each zucchini fry in the milk. Then dredge through the dry ingredients mixture until fully coated. Add fries to a strainer and shake off any excess breading.
- Place on metal pan. Repeat for remaining zucchini fries.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Then flip fries over.
- Bake an additional 15 minutes or until fries are crispy. Optional but recommended: broil on high for 1 to 2 minutes for extra crispy fries.
- Finally, remove from oven and serve with desired sauce.
Notes
- Medium sized zucchini tend to work better than large zucchini. If using a large zucchini, only 1 is needed.
- Cornstarch or arrowroot powder can replace tapioca flour.
- It is important to pat zucchini dry. This removes some of the moisture and allows them to get more crispy.
- Any dairy free milk works! I used an unsweetened almond milk.
- Shake off excess breading as you dredge fries through dry ingredients. Too much breading can lead to gummy fries.
- Broil fries for 1 to 2 minutes on high at the end of cooking to get them extra crispy.
- The above photos show parchment paper on the pan. I recommend NOT using parchment paper for crispier fries. Placing fries directly on the pan gets them crunchier.
- These fries are best served immediately. Unfortunately they do not do well in the fridge as leftovers.
