Chunky zucchini fries

Zucchini fries anyone? I just love these. They are so easy to make and so yummy!!

They might be a bit messy to put them together with the dipping of the egg and panko breadcrumbs but nothing anyone can't handle.

We actually have these with sweet and sour chili sauce and they are perfect. My kids love them, although they will take them with ketchup :-)

Super bowl is just around the corner and having something a little bit healthier among all of the starches, fried foods and drinks is not a bad idea.

One thing I have noticed with these is that you must serve them right away, as time goes by the tend to get a bit soggy. They are still good but we do like them crunchy.

Anyhow, I hope everyone has a great time at the super bowl, I know we will!!

Enjoy.
 

Arrange zucchini pieces among two baking trays and bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes. Turn each piece and bake another 10 minutes making sure they get golden brown all over. Serve with your favorite sauce. We do with sweet and sour chili sauce and organic ketchup for the kids.
