Zucchini Fries
- 1 large zucchini
- 1 flax egg
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¾ cup almond flour fine
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp pepper
- salt to taste
Dipping Sauce
- 1 cup vegan mayo or non-dairy yogurt
- ½ cup cucumber grated & squeezed
- ½ lemon juiced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- salt to taste
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Cut the zucchini into match sticks (keeping the skin on) and patch dry with a kitchen towel.
Make the flax egg by combining 1 tablespoon ground flax with 3 tablespoons of water. Stir and set aside for about 15 minutes to thicken.
In a bowl combine almond flour and spices. In another bowl add almond milk and flax egg, whisk to combine.
In another bowl add almond milk and flax egg, whisk to combine.
Dip the zucchini in the milk mixture and then into the flour mixture and coat evening. Tip: use one hand for dipping in the milk and another hand for dipping in the flour so your fingers don’t get too sticky.
Place the coated zucchini on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use two baking sheets if needed.
Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown, flipping the fries halfway through.
Dipping Sauce
To make the dipping sauce start by grating a cucumber (skin on) and squeezing out the excess liquid. You should end up with about ½ a cup (or more if you like!).
In a small bowl combine the cucumber with the remaining sauce ingredients.
Chill before serving to let the flavors meld together.
If you don't want the dipping sauce to be vegan you can sub with our regular yogurt based Tzatziki Sauce.
