Baked Zucchini Curly Fries Recipes

BAKED ZUCCHINI CURLY FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine spiralized zucchini and cornstarch in a bowl and toss to combine. Place beaten eggs in a shallow dish. Stir panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, seasoning salt, cayenne, and garlic powder together in a second shallow dish.
• Working in batches, lightly dredge zucchini in the eggs, shaking off the excess before dredging in the bread crumb mixture. Spread zucchini out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Spray the top of the zucchini with more nonstick cooking spray.
• Bake until crispy and golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve hot and fresh.

BEER-BATTERED ZUCCHINI CURLY FRIES

Steps:

• Use the widest setting on a vegetable spiral slicer and turn the zucchini into ribbons. Stop every couple of turns to cut the ribbons into 2 to3-inch pieces.
• Whisk together the flour, beer, lemon zest and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
• Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Attach the deep fat fry thermometer and bring the oil to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a double layer of paper towels and keep it nearby.
• Working one small handful at a time, add the zucchini curls to the beer batter and use tongs to toss and coat (like tossing spaghetti in sauce!). Pick up the battered curls a few at a time with the tongs and let as much excess batter drip off as possible. Being careful of the hot oil, drop the battered zucchini into the hot oil. Use a second pair of tongs or a slotted spoon to turn and help move the zucchini around, separating the pieces as best you can while they fry. Fry until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes total. Transfer to the paper-towel lined baking sheet. Continue to fry in small batches. Serve hot (you can reheat in a 325 degrees F oven if needed).
