Baked Zucchini Fries with a Greek Yogurt Dipping Sauce
Zucchini naturally contains a lot of natural moisture. Often it can be challenging to get crispy results when baking it in the oven. For this reason, best results are achieved from small, firm zucchini in this recipe. You may also want to remove any large or excess seeds prior to dredging each piece in the seasoned breadcrumbs.
