Make these delicious, crispy vegan zucchini fries / zucchini sticks and enjoy a crunchy snack or side dish, that’s also secretly healthy!
This is the first time I write a blog post entirely from my phone. For the past week I didn’t have any access to my laptop, as it is broken and currently in service. Repairing takes way longer than expected and this caused quite a few issues with work and my blogging activity. I decided to try writing a post from the phone, and I can say it goes pretty well so far. I have to keep switching from app to browser, because some functionalities are missing, so it will probably take me longer, but hopefully it will turn out ok. 🙂
I have two video recipes on stand by and five more regular text recipes waiting to be posted on the blog. I didn’t have time to promote my meal planner this month either, so here it is! I did add some new recipes to it and lots of cool improvements will come soon.
So, about this awesome zucchini fries recipe… I kept on seeing similar zucchini sticks recipes on Pinterest and decided to give it a try myself. It is completely vegan, which is a plus, so no real cheese or eggs on this one. The texture turned out amazing with vegan cheese too.
These zucchini fries, zucchini sticks or vegan fried zucchini, whatever name you prefer, are really easy to make. They’re not actually fried, but baked, so less time spent in the kitchen plus they’re healthier too!
I served them with three types of sauces: tahini, aioli and labneh. I prefer tahini, plus it’s vegan too, unlike the other two options. You can try different dips, like ketchup or pesto, depending on your personal taste.
