Irresistible baked zucchini fries

Irresistible baked zucchini fries

These baked zucchini fries recipe is one of those that you keep preparing, time after time.

Why? Because in 10 days I have already prepared it 4 times. Any doubt we loved it?

They could be called light baked zucchini as they’re very light. Easy to prepare, with few ingredients and so much taste. I saw this recipe on A Pinch of Italy blog and tried them the day after.

The only thing is that you have to decide a little bit in advance to prepare them, as it is necessary to let them loose some water – I admit I didn’t figure out they could eliminate so much water after resting with some salt. Avoid this step would compromise their crispness (even though, I have prepared this recipe many times without waiting and, even if they come a little bit less crispy, they are really good and we did not have any leftover ;-D).

I left them with salt for a whole night and for a few hours (from breakfast to lunch). Leaving them for a longer time with salt will make them eliminate more water, but I’d say a whole morning is enough as, in both cases, there were no leftovers ;-).
