Garlic zucchini shoestring fries

Garlic zucchini shoestring fries are a delightful and healthier alternative to regular fries. These crispy and flavorful fries are easy to make and serve as a perfect snack or side dish. Let's dive into the recipe and explore how to create this delicious treat.

Ingredients:

1 zucchini
320g
1/4 cup olive oil
55g
1 tbsp all-purpose white wheat flour
8g
1 garlic clove
3g
1/2 tsp salt
3g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with some olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Zucchini:
- Wash the zucchini thoroughly under cold water. Pat it dry with a clean towel.
- Using a julienne peeler or a mandoline slicer, cut the zucchini into thin, shoestring-like strips. If these tools are unavailable, you can also use a sharp knife to carefully cut the zucchini into thin matchstick pieces.
3. Prepare the Garlic Olive Oil:
- Mince the garlic clove finely.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic with the 1/4 cup of olive oil. Let it sit for a minute or two to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Coat the Zucchini:
- Place the zucchini strips in a large mixing bowl. Pour the garlic olive oil over the zucchini and toss to coat the zucchini evenly.
5. Add the Flour and Salt:
- Sprinkle the all-purpose white wheat flour over the oiled zucchini strips. Toss again to ensure an even coating.
- Add the 1/2 tsp of salt and toss once more to distribute it evenly.
6. Bake the Zucchini Fries:
- Spread the zucchini strips out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping too much, as this helps them to get crispy.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini fries are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, and you may need to flip them halfway through for even cooking.
7. Serve:
- Once baked, remove the zucchini fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
- Transfer the fries to a serving platter and enjoy them immediately while they are still warm and crispy.

Tips:

- Make sure to slice the zucchini into thin, even shoestrings for consistent cooking.

- Consider using a spiralizer or julienne peeler to achieve uniform shoestrings.

- Pat the zucchini shoestrings dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, ensuring they become crispy when cooked.

- Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic and other seasonings to taste.

- For added flavor, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese or chopped fresh herbs over the fries after baking.

Garlic zucchini shoestring fries are a simple yet delightful dish that brings a burst of flavor and crunch. With the above tips in mind, you can easily whip up this healthy and delicious snack or side dish that will surely impress your family and friends. Enjoy your homemade garlic zucchini shoestring fries!
