Baked Zucchini Fries are a genius recipe!
Easy, delicious, and with simple ingredients. Oh yes and it’s a healthy light, gluten free, dairy free, paleo, vegetarian dish. You’re gonna LOVE them.
What to do with your extra Zucchini?
With my Garden starting the daily flow of Zucchini, I have been trying out new ways to cook up this persistent veggie.
There is nothing like walking out to your garden and picking your own produce to serve up a dinner. The zucchinis were still warm from the sun as I prepared this recipe, that makes me happy!
Zucchini is a great source of Vitamin A.
Zucchini is great for women because of the vitamin A, which us ladies need. Vitamin A promotes healthy eyesight, skin and lung function. It also packs a good dose of antioxidants to help our sells to recover. For me, one of the best benefits is the electrolytes that help me maintain my fluid balance and normalize my blood pressure.
With the summer heat and working out, I like to add fruits and veggies that help keep me hydrated.

Lovely recipe as these are one of my favourites in summer! I still have to wait for mine to produce… I have flowers but that’s it at the moment. Maybe the lack of sunshine is the problem here!
I’d love some of your rain right about now. Its 100 here right now, the poor chickens are so stressed.
