Ingredients

For the fries:

  • 1-2 zucchini cut into 3-inch long and ΒΌ-inch thick strips
  • 2/3 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened plant milk
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • olive oil cooking spray

For the sauce:

  • 1 cup non-dairy yogurt plain
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Line a large baking sheet with a silicone sheet and set a cooling rack on top of the baking sheet. Coat the cooling rack with cooking spray to minimize sticking.
  • Set up your breading trays. You'll need 3 bowls (or soup dishes or tupperware containers). Whisk the flour with paprika in one bowl. Pour the plant milk into another bowl. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge the zucchini strips in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip the zucchini in the egg, then place it in the bread crumb mixture, covering completely.
  • Transfer the coated zucchini pieces to the prepared rack, in a single layer. Repeat with remaining zucchini pieces.
  • Bake in the oven until the zucchini is tender and the breading is browned and crisp, about 15 minutes.
  • While the fries are baking, mix together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Pull fries from the oven when done and serve right away with the dipping sauce.
