Baked Squash Fries with Marinara Sauce
These “fries” are actually not fried at all. I tried them both ways, and much preferred the baked version. Very surprising considering my love for french fries!
They are super easy to make and are a great snack or appetizer. Serve them hot with a side of warm marinara sauce or dipping sauce of your choice.
| Ingredients (serves 4)
1 zucchini (cut into matchsticks) |
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet with 1/2 tablespoon EVOO.
Mix salt, pepper, almond flour, and Parmesan in a shallow bowl.
Put the flaxseed slurry in a separate shallow bowl.
Dip each squash stick in the slurry, then lightly shake off the excess. Transfer to the almond flour mixture bowl and turn until lightly coated.
Place the squash fries on prepared cookie sheet, then drizzle with remaining oil.
Bake for 10 minutes, then turn the fries over and bake another 10 minutes. The fries should be golden brown.
Enjoy hot with your favorite dipping sauce!
I deep fried ‘em in a coconut / peanut oil blend….deelish!
These sound wonderful, but I am now on a diary free diet. Do you have any substitutions for the parmesan? It’s one of my favorite cheeses & I know it would add lots of flavor. Thanks for such exciting recipes – I can’t wait to try them all.
I just made them with nutritional yeast instead of parmesan and they were delicious!
Thank you for all of the wonderful work on recipes and sharing them. Both of my children 4 and 3 have multiple food intolerance and sensitivities. Having access to a resource like againstallgrain.com and the value of such is hard to put into words for my family and I. Thank you so much. God bless!
So happy to share! Thanks Justin!
I’ve tried to find a squash recipe my family will eat. You may have given me a great solution since they like home-made potato fries.
