Zucchini fries are a delicious, crispy snack or side dish inspired by Mediterranean and American comfort food traditions. Made by slicing fresh zucchini into sticks, they are typically coated in a seasoned breadcrumb or panko mixture, sometimes with grated Parmesan, and then baked or fried to achieve a golden, crunchy texture. Zucchini, as the core ingredient, is rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, and dietary fiber, offering a nutritious base. Baking the fries or using an air fryer can enhance their health benefits by reducing oil content, while traditional frying increases calorie and fat levels. Popular as a healthier alternative to potato fries, zucchini fries are an excellent way to enjoy a balance of flavor and nutrition, especially when paired with wholesome dips like Greek yogurt-based sauces. However, portion control is key to keeping this treat aligned with dietary goals.
