Zucchini Fries
Description
The appetizer is quick and easy to make. I don't like zucchini. No, seriously — I barely eat zucchini in any form. One of the exceptions is zucchini fries. Essentially, this appetizer is very similar to the infamous McDonald's french fries — it looks similar, tastes similar, and is served with sauce. However, unlike french fries, homemade zucchini fries are a much less harmful and dangerous habit for your health. Interestingly, even our children liked the zucchini fries appetizer, and they don't just dislike zucchini — they don't really like vegetables in general. Give it a try! :) Serve with herbs and sauce.

Step 6
Place the breaded zucchini pieces on a rack, and line the area beneath the rack with foil so you don't dirty the oven. Put the rack in the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 200°C until the batter forms a golden crust.
