Gluten-Free Vegan Oven-Baked Zucchini Fries
Ingredients
- 2 organic zucchini
- ½ cup homemade almond milk
For the seasoning:
- ¼ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- ¼ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
- ¼ teaspoon organic ground garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon organic ground cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare the seasoning:
- Add all the ingredients for the seasoning to a small mixing bowl and stir until well combined. Set aside.
Prepare the zucchini:
- Cut both ends off the zucchini, then cut it in half. Leaving the skin on, slice it into thick fry-size pieces. Repeat for the second zucchini. Set aside.
Assemble:
- Start an assembly line in this order: sliced zucchini, small bowl with almond milk, small bowl with only ½ the seasoning mixture, cookie sheet line with parchment paper.
- Dip each piece of sliced zucchini into the bowl of almond milk, then drop into the bowl of seasoning mixture, toss until all sides are covered, then place it on the cookie sheet. Repeat until you run out of seasoning mixture.
- When you run out of seasoning mixture, add the second half to the same bowl and repeat the steps above until you run out of zucchini. (I've found that about half-way through, the seasoning mixture gets saturated with the almond milk and doesn't stick as well to the zucchini, so I started halving the mixture).
- Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the coating becomes golden. Flip the fries over and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the coating becomes golden. Take care not to over bake or burn them.
- Best when served hot from the oven.
- Enjoy!
