Zucchini Fries and Dip
Serves 4
Ingredients
For the fries
- 2 large zucchini
- 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 2 eggs, beaten
For the dip
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Directions
Note: You can bake this recipe at 425 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or prepare it in an air fryer at the same temperature. Baking time may vary due to differences in ovens and appliances. They are done when fries are golden brown, crisp and the zucchini is tender.
- Cut zucchini into ¼-inch “fries” shaped pieces, approximately 3-4 inches in length.
- Toss together breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning in a bowl. In another bowl, beat eggs.
- To assemble, dip zucchini fries first into eggs, then gently toss in breadcrumb mixture, then bake or air-fry as described above.
- While cooking, stir together the second set of ingredients to make a cilantro/lime chipotle dip.
