Zucchini Fries

I have collected a boatload of zucchini.. hence this, this and now these.
These would make a perfect side dish, for any meal really. Do they taste like french fries? No, not really.. but they are a whole lot healthier and I'm good with that.

{Zucchini Fries}
Prep time: 5 minutes
** Needs to soak overnight! Plan ahead.
Yields: Well, that is just going to depend on the size of your zucchini
Cook time:10-12 minutes


Ingredients


  • 2 Zucchinis or 1 jumbo massive one.
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 cup almond meal
  • Sea salt to taste


Directions

Cut your Zucchini into fry shapes by slicing then dicing like so.

Jumbo size**




Crack egg whites into a large pan. (that will probably work better then my crammed bowl)


Cover and refridgerate them for 4-5 hours or overnight..

Remove zuchinni from egg mix and roll in Almond meal till evenly covered, sprinkle with sea salt


Place on a hot skillet turning frequently for about 10-12 minutes.

Let cool slightly and ENJOY!

Q. What is your favorite place to get fries?
Besides my kitchen... sweet potato fries, rutabaga or parsnip and now zucchini. I really do like arby's curly fries!! Hello.. ?! They are curly and delicious.

  3. I tried sweet potato fries and the flavor is a little strange to me, maybe I will try the butternut squash fries next. I am not a big french fry eater but there are some times that fries are just necesary (such as with deep fried battered cod fish) One of my splurge foods. I really don't have many but I love some fish and chips, cole slaw (or maybe a substition of cottage cheese) and tarter sauce.
