Ingredients needed to make Baked Zucchini Fries with a Greek Yogurt Dipping Sauce

• 2 medium zucchini, halved and sliced into matchsticks, excess seeds removed
• 2 large eggs, beaten sea salt, and black pepper, to taste
• ½ c. panko breadcrumbs
• ½ c. parmesan cheese, finely shredded
• Cooking spray

• Yogurt Dipping Sauce:
• 1 c. Greek yogurt
• 1 T. lemon juice
• ½ c. fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions for making Baked Zucchini Fries with a Greek Yogurt Dipping Sauce

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside..
2. In a shallow dish or pie pan, gently whisk the eggs together. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. 
3. In a second shallow dish or pie pan, combine panko and parmesan cheese.  
4. Dip each zucchini piece into the beaten egg mixture. Allow excess egg to drain off each piece before transferring to the bowl of seasoned breadcrumbs to dredge. Turn to evenly coat each piece of zucchini before transferring to the prepared baking sheet. 
5. Arrange zucchini fries on baking sheet. Season with additional salt and black pepper, if desired. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
6. Place in the oven to roast until golden-brown and crisp, 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through the baking time. 
7. In the meantime, whisk Greek yogurt, lemon juice, parsley, and dill in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve the hot zucchini fries alongside the Greek yogurt dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Variations

When it comes to baked zucchini fries, there are variations to suit every taste. For a flavorful twist, try coating the zucchini in a mixture of Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning before baking. For a kick of heat, add some red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture. And for a touch of sweetness, try dipping the fries in a honey mustard sauce. The possibilities are endless! So don't be afraid to experiment until you find your perfect variation. Bon appetit!

Storage

Baked Zucchini Fries with Greek Yogurt Dipping Sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to four days. After that, they should be thrown out. The same goes for any leftovers – if they’ve been sitting in the fridge for more than four days, it’s time to say goodbye. When it comes to stored food, always err on the side of caution and discard anything that might be even slightly questionable. After all, it’s better to be safe than sorry!
