hi madhuram,
tried them y’day and they were just fabulous… we had it with ranch dipping sauce… it was absolutely guilt free fries… thanks a lot for posting this one!

Thanks Madhu for trying. I tried parsnip fries too (similar too french fries). It tasted good, but I burnt it little bit and didn’t get a good picture. Will post it once I try it again.

Madhuram, these look yummy & crunchy. Wanat to try them this weekend.

Can I use cornmeal instead of bread crumbs ? I have some leftover corn meal. I don’t know what else to use it for.

I guess you could, Deepa. If you have corn flakes you could powder that too.

Hi,

I got to your page through google search for Baked Zucchini Fries. I made them just as you described and they were very nice. Thanks a lot for the posting.

Hi Pat, I'm sorry that your comment got deleted accidentally. I will also try your method of using panko bread crumbs and hot sauce with yogurt.

Thank you very much for trying it Smitha. I’m also glad that it came out very well. Definitely try the zucchini bread also, you can omit the nuts and substitute it with carrots and make it more healthy.

Do try the zucchini pappu also, it’s a very good accompaniment for both rice and chapathis.

I tried this recipe and it was a big hit with my husband and my 4 year old son. Great work Madhu. Congratulations on your second award. You really deserve it.

Next thing I am planning to try your zucchini bread.

Sure Madhu, let me know how the variation turns out.

hi neha,
Grease a tawa/ pan. Place the Zucchini fingers on it. Cover and cook on sim till done. This might not be as great as the oven-cooked ones but is often used as a substitute for baking.

Thanks Red Chillies, Roma and Ranji.

Roma I was also thinking the same. Next time I will be slicing zucchinis, brinjals and potatoes, just like we do it for Bhajis and instead of dipping in yogurt, I’m thinking of making a liquid of rice flour and cornstarch and then dipping them in bread crumbs. I’ll update my post regardless of the outcome. But if you cut potatoes like fingers it’s going to take about 35-40 minutes to bake. I tried with sweet potatoes also the other day, before blogging, it took quite some time to cook.
