    If you don’t like zucchini fries baked follow the recipe and make them into fried zucchini fries. 

    I myself prefer not to taste coconut in anything so I used the refined coconut oil, whereas my wife Courtney can eat the virgin coconut oil without an issue. It’s really a personal preference. Some people may not even notice, but I can notice right away, even in the most flavorful food.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love coconut, but I prefer my food that shouldn’t taste like a coconut not taste like a coconut. For my palate, it’s very overpowering and I prefer to enjoy the other flavors.

    Eggplant Parmesan and Zucchini Bites Mezzetta Pasta Sauce

    Another great option is our eggplant parmesan recipe and zucchini bites. If you really love zucchini you’ll love this vegetarian penne pasta recipe!

    They’re great dipped in marinara too. In fact, you could even dip the zucchini fries into marinara sauce. When Courtney made these we gobbled them up before they even had a chance to really cool off. They’re that good.

    Now for the baked zucchini fries recipe, we really hope you enjoy. Let us know if you try it by tagging us on social #knowyourproduce with a photo!

    About Chris

    I enjoy spending time with my wife, daughter, and son, especially in the kitchen. We make it a family event to go to the market, spending most of our time and money on the produce department. Everyone should know all about their produce and that is my goal.

      The problem I had with this recipe is after submerging the zucchini in the egg, I could not get the breadcrumbs to stick to it. They just clumped then fell off

        Hi Amy,

        So sorry you had an issue!
        Try to make sure that there isn’t too much egg on the zucchini. We use panko which is super light, did you try that? Here’s a video without the flour. 🙂 https://www.facebook.com/knowyourproduce/videos/952642141579467/

      The recipe calls for spraying with olive oil (It looks like after it bakes)? I don’t see this step in the video?

        Spraying with oil before baking or frying in oil is optional. 🙂
