Crispiest Gluten Free Baked Zucchini Fries Recipe

Coconut Flour Baked Zucchini

Crispy Appetizer

Crispy gluten free baked zucchini are delicious and fun to eat, so you’ll want to serve them at parties and as a regular family snack or side dish.

The crispy baked appetizer tastes great, so no one will miss the gluten or the fact that it isn’t fried in oil.

And, you can customize the versatile dish by pairing it with sauces to suit your family’s taste.

Dip them into a classic marinara sauce or set out a variety of dipping sauces including ranch, buffalo dip or a flavored aioli.

Often, it can be tricky to get a crunch that is similar to frying, when you are baking in the oven without added oil.

The trick to that is choosing the right zucchini and prepping it correctly.

First, choose small, firm zucchini.

Second, if there are still some soggy seeds inside, remove them.

Finally, pat the zucchini slices dry just before breading.

Then, you will get crispy zucchini that isn’t fried.

Enjoy!
