Question 2

What ingredients do I need to make zucchini fries?

Accepted Answer

To make zucchini fries, you will need zucchini, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and eggs (for the egg wash).

Question 3

Do I need to peel the zucchini before making fries?

Accepted Answer

No, you don't need to peel the zucchini before making fries. The skin of the zucchini is edible and adds texture to the dish.

Question 4

How do I make zucchini fries crispy?

Accepted Answer

To make zucchini fries crispy, make sure to slice the zucchini evenly and coat each slice in the breadcrumb mixture thoroughly. Additionally, using a baking sheet with a wire rack can help air circulate around the fries, resulting in a crispier texture.

Question 5

Can I make zucchini fries ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Zucchini fries are best served immediately after cooking, but you can prepare the breadcrumb mixture and slice the zucchini ahead of time to save time on the day of cooking. If you have leftover fries, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat them in the oven or air fryer to crisp them up.

Question 6

Can I use a different type of cheese instead of Parmesan?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use a different type of cheese instead of Parmesan if you prefer. Pecorino Romano or Asiago are good alternatives that will still add a salty, nutty flavor to the fries.

Question 7

Can I use gluten-free breadcrumbs for zucchini fries?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use gluten-free breadcrumbs for zucchini fries. You can either buy gluten-free breadcrumbs or make your own by toasting gluten-free bread and then processing it into crumbs.

Question 8

How do I prevent the zucchini fries from becoming soggy?

Accepted Answer

To prevent the zucchini fries from becoming soggy, make sure to pat the zucchini slices dry with a paper towel before coating them in the breadcrumb mixture. Additionally, don't overcrowd the baking sheet when cooking the fries, as this can result in steaming rather than baking, which can make the fries soggy.

Question 9

When does Zucchini Fries expire?

Accepted Answer

Unopened store-bought zucchini fries can often last up to 6 months when stored in the freezer, they should be eaten as soon as possible after their 'best by' date. Once opened, they should be consumed within 1 - 2 days. Homemade zucchini fries do not have preservatives like store-bought ones, so they tend to last for a shorter period of time, specifically 3-5 days in the fridge.

Question 10

How do you tell if Zucchini Fries is bad?

Accepted Answer

Bad zucchini fries will exhibit a few telltale signs. First, you may notice a change in color; they may appear duller or darker than usual. Another key indicator is a change in texture - they could become slimy or overly soft. If you notice an unusual smell, almost sour or rotten, that's another clear sign that your zucchini fries have gone bad. Lastly, if mold is visible, the fries should be discarded immediately.

Question 11

Tips for storing Zucchini Fries to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Always store your zucchini fries in an airtight container or resealable bag to keep them fresh longer.

• If possible, keep them in the vegetable drawer of your fridge. This area maintains a higher moisture level, which can help extend their shelf-life.

• Don't wash your zucchini fries until you are ready to use them. Excess moisture can make them spoil more quickly.

• For a longer-term option, zucchini fries can be frozen in a freezer-safe container or bag. Just make sure to remove as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.
