Zucchini Fries – Back 2 Back

Now the problem I have whenever I buy zucchinis is that I always seem to have more than I need. After making the fritters there’s still some leftover zucchini and before I could put the crazy idea of zucchini juice into action, I thought of making fries! Of course, this is nothing new or uncommon but I’ve never tasted fries like these before and wondered how it would differ from potatoes. Not to mention zucchinis are quite watery.

I didn’t have much to worry about because these fries were off the hook! And somehow the wateriness works. It is moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Needless to say, my son was into this rather than the cumin fritters. 🙂
