Spicy Zucchini Fries Recipes

Steps:

• Make the dip
• In a small bowl, blend together the yogurt, garlic, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
• Make the zucchini fries
• Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
• Prepare your ingredients: Place flour in a large Ziploc bag. Crack eggs into a shallow dish and whisk along with 2 tablespoons water. Mix Panko breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a shallow dish.
• Add zucchini to the Ziploc bag with flour and shake gently until all pieces are covered.
• Working with three or four sticks at a time, dip the zucchini sticks in the egg mixture then place in the Panko mixture, turning to coat. Gently lay on the baking sheet. Repeat, mixing the Panko breadcrumbs often to keep spices distributed, until all pieces are coated.
• Evenly drizzle olive oil on top of fries.
• Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until all sides are golden brown.
• Serve immediately with dip.

Steps:

• Now first off I love to serve this with a creamy parmesan dipping sauce which you can make your own, but normally I don't even use a sauce. These are light and spicy as is.
• Mix all the ingredients to make a nice tempura batter. In a large pan heat up the oil. Then dip the zucchini and then fry until golden brown. Don't add too many at one time. They come out crispy and brown.
• I like to use a simple marinara as a dipping sauce -- reminds me of fries with ketchup. It is really a great simple side dish.
