These Simple Baked Zucchini Wedges are so easy to make and are packed full of flavour. They make a great side to any meal or are great on their own as a healthy snack.

If you are looking for an easy zucchini recipe that you can add to your meal or have as an appetizer, then these vegan zucchini fries are a must try. They don’t require any crumbing. Just slice the zucchini, add the flavours and bake in the oven.

They don’t crisp up like crumbed zucchini wedges tend to do, but you can get them slightly crispy. My favourite thing about them is the amazing flavour and I often have them as a healthy snack with some garlic aioli.

INGREDIENTS

Zucchini – any medium to large zucchini will work for this recipe.

Rosemary – other herbs like oregano, chives or even a mix of herbs. Dried herbs also work well.

Garlic – You can use either fresh garlic or even garlic powder to make these fries.

Salt – I forgot to add the salt to the ingredients photo, but I used a pinch of salt in this fries recipe.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Slice the zucchini into wedges. Slice each zucchini in half lengthways, then half lengthways again. Then slice across the middle and then into wedges. Make sure you keep the wedges fairly even in size to ensure that they cook evenly.

Step 3: Add wedges to a baking tray. Place the wedges on baking tray lined with baking paper. Spoon any remaining olive oil, garlic, rosemary and salt from them mixing bowl and add to the baking tray.

Step 4: Bake in oven. Place the baking tray on the middle rack of oven and cook for 20-25 minutes on 220C|430F or until the edges start to turn golden brown colour and should be slightly crispy.

Handy tip: Serve immediately

These gluten free zucchini fries are best enjoyed straight away. They should have a slight crispiness to them and if you leave them too long, they may go a bit soggy.
