These delightful, curly zucchini fries offer a satisfying crunch and a pleasant saltiness, making them an irresistible snack or a unique side dish. Imagine the crispy texture of frizzled onions, but with a lighter, fresher appeal. The zucchini is transformed into delicate, thin strands using a spiralizer, then baked to achieve an incredible crispness.
The secret to their fried-like texture without actual frying lies in a coating made from crushed pork rinds, creating a wonderfully savory and crunchy exterior. Enjoy these zucchini fries straight from the oven while they're at their peak crispiness, or pair them with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra layer of flavor. Ketchup is a classic choice, or explore other options to complement the zucchini's subtle taste.
Leftovers, if there are any, can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days. Reheat them gently to help retain some of their crispness. For a change of pace, try substituting butternut squash for the zucchini.
Keep in mind that butternut squash will offer a slightly different flavor profile and texture. Experiment with different seasonings to customize the flavor and create exciting variations. For a taste of the Southwest, try adding cumin, paprika, and onion powder to the coating.
If you're looking for a flavor that pairs well with burgers, consider using garlic powder and Italian seasoning. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to tailor these crispy zucchini fries to your specific tastes and preferences. These are a perfect way to enjoy zucchini.
