Baked Zucchini Chips and Fries

March 4, 2013 By Heather Blackmon

Baked Zucchini Fries

26 weeks ago we started on this crazy, fun journey to cook meatless dishes featuring ingredients for all 26 letters in the alphabet. Somehow, we’ve reached the final letter today!

This random idea that started over brunch in downtown Denver turned into 26 weeks of creativity and food with both old & new friends joining in along the way. Next week we’ll take a look back at some of those amazing creations, but today it’s all about Zucchini!

Meatless Mondays from A-Z

I admit that this was the second week in a row I was cooking late into Sunday night. I’ve been having way too much fun on weekends with little recipe planning ahead. The plan changed several times throughout the day, but the final plan was inspired from a southern favorite – Pickle Chips!

I remember eating my first pickle chips at a BBQ restaurant coming back from a Florida-Georgia football game. Fried, heavy, and fantastic. Not quite something you can munch on without feeling a little yucky the next day, if you handle fried food like me.

These, on the other hand, you can eat… and eat… and eat. My favorite kind of food! You are supposed to eat your veggies, after all. 😉

And in typical Heather fashion, they have a little kick of spice.

Keywords: bake appetizer side snack vegan vegetarian sugar-free nut-free zucchini

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1/2 cup cornflake crumbs
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/3 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
  • 2 teaspoons vegan mayo
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In a small bowl, mix together milk and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. In another small bowl, mix together cornflakes through cayenne.

Slice zucchini into fries (lengthwise) or chips (horizontal) — I did a mix of both. Coat baking sheet with cooking spray.

Lay out an assembly line with sliced zucchini, milk, cornflake mixture, and baking sheet. Drop the zucchini pieces into the milk mixture, then immediately dredge through the cornflake mixture. Place on baking sheet, space about an inch apart.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool just slightly before serving.

To make optional aioli, mix together mayo & Sriracha.

Enjoy!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

⬇️ What is one thing that scares you & how are you working on it?

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸 But reall Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?

"Every ending is a beginning. We just don't know i "Every ending is a beginning. We just don't know it at the time." -Mitch Albom

Last Friday, we ventured to a trail near Carbondale for the most beautiful ride with huge wildflowers everywhere. It was a great trail with good climbing, plenty of flow in the middle, and A LOT of switchbacks on the descent. Our first 2 hour ride of the season and it was a blast!

I didn't know it at the time, but it was also the last ride on my Liv mountain bike - because I got a new bike on Sunday! ✨

If you're in Colorado & in the market for a new bike, I highly recommend Over The Edge in Fruita. I test rode 6 bikes & then took the Pivot Mach 5.5 out on the trail to be sure it was the right one. Great experience!!
