Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Cut them into thin strips, about a quarter-inch thick, resembling fries.
In a large bowl, toss the zucchini strips with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the zucchini strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
Remove the zucchini fries from the oven and evenly sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the top.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the cheese.
Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Transfer the loaded cheese fries to a serving platter and sprinkle with sliced green onions and chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with a side of sour cream, if desired.
