Why Baked Zucchini Fries?

Let’s face it—French fries are hard to resist. But if you’re watching your carb intake or simply trying to make healthier choices, traditional fries might be off the menu. Enter baked zucchini fries, the perfect alternative that doesn’t skimp on flavor or crunch. By swapping out potatoes for zucchini, you’re cutting down on carbs and calories while still getting that satisfying crispiness. Plus, zucchini is a powerhouse of nutrients, offering vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and a good dose of fiber to keep you feeling full longer.

These zucchini fries are coated in a mixture of Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning, then baked to perfection. Baking instead of frying not only reduces the fat content but also keeps the fries light and crispy. The result? A golden, crunchy snack that you can enjoy guilt-free.

The Perfect Pair: Greek Yogurt Garlic Aioli

No fry experience is complete without a dipping sauce, and this Greek Yogurt Garlic Aioli is a healthier take on the classic garlic mayo. Instead of using just mayonnaise, we’ve swapped in plain Greek yogurt, which cuts down on calories and adds a boost of protein. Greek yogurt is also packed with probiotics, which are great for your gut health. The addition of fresh garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a touch of parsley gives this aioli a zesty kick, making it the perfect complement to the savory zucchini fries.

We also add a scoop of Super Youth Unflavored to the aioli, giving it an extra boost of collagen to support healthy skin, hair, nails, and joints. The result is a creamy, flavorful sauce that enhances the taste of the fries while adding some serious nutritional benefits.

Health Benefits of These Swaps
