Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
Step 6
Remove the zucchini fries from the oven and evenly sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the top.
Step 7
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the cheese.
Step 8
Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Step 9
Transfer the loaded cheese fries to a serving platter and sprinkle with sliced green onions and chopped parsley.
Step 10
Serve immediately with a side of sour cream, if desired.
