This delicious baked zucchini fries are a great snack, gluten-free, low-carb and keto-friendly and you can enjoy it either with a dressing or on its own. I do not like when the zucchini fries are excessively soggy, but the more cheesy you like it, the more nutritional cheese you can use until you form like a baked crust 🙂
In case you did not know zucchini is really nutritious (1) rich in different nutrients, high in vitamins and minerals, loaded with antioxidants…
