SERVES: 4
PREP TIME: 10M
COOK TIME: 15M
Ingredients
- 1 cups / 140g freshly grated Pecorino Romano (Parmesan will also work)
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 3 to 4 medium zucchini
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or ghee, melted
- Hot sauce, for serving (optional)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350F / 180C. Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and oregano.
- Slice the zucchinis into thin wedges; you should get about 12 pieces from each vegetable. Toss the wedges in the coconut oil to coat, then toss them in the cheese mixture, pressing the wedges into the cheese to set. Place the coated fries on the wire rack.
- Bake the zucchini fries until tender, 12 to 15 minutes, then place them under the broiler until the cheese is golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately with hot sauce if desired.
