I realized something yesterday…
Making fries in various vegetable varieties is kind of my jam. I’m starting to think it’s my life calling to make fries out of just about anything…except potatoes. I have no interest in making French fries…I can just buy those from In-n-Out.
First there were Portobello Fries that I made for you, me…and Kate Moss.
Then…Avocado Fries. I mean…I’ve made them twice since Caroline originally posted them. Amazeballs.
Next there were Spicy Carrot Fries. And then…if I cut these pickles differently, they totally would’ve been pickle fries instead of pickle chips. But seriously, who cares. They were dipped in batter and fried. And then I ate like a hundred with a beer. End of story.
And now I give you these Zucchini Fries. With not one, but two dipping sauces!! Dipping sauces are important. Are you the type that has bbq sauces and hot sauces from fast food restaurants in your glove compartment?!
Yeah, me neither.
I roasted some garlic and made into an aioli. This was a good idea.
And Sriracha Mayonnaise. Ummmm…hello!!! It was delicious. You should do this.
I think we need to start with the garlic aioli. This might take a bit…but it’s downtime; meaning you don’t actually have to do anything.
Just lop off the top part of the garlic, sprinkle with salt and pepper and a tablespoon of olive oil, wrap it up in foil or parchment and stick it in the oven.
A few minutes before the garlic is done, start with the zucchini fries. Cut them in three, long ways, and then halve them. Batons!
Next you wanna dip ’em in a few beaten eggs.
And then transfer them to a plate with the bread crumb mixture. Let’s talk about this bread crumb mixture for a second.
It’s glorious. There’s grated cheese, red pepper flakes, salt & pepper and dried oregano. So good!
Stick ’em on a lined baking sheet and bake them for 20 minutes, or until they’re all golden and beautiful.
While that’s all baking, you can make the aiolis. Food processor. Mayonnaise. Salt. Pepper. And the roasted garlic. Next make the Sriracha Mayonnaise.
And then…eat all of the zucchini fries while watching TV. It’s a cute look. Promise.
P.S. Back to school commercials are STILL depressing. How is this possible?
Zucchini Fries with Roasted Garlic Aioli and Sriracha Mayo
For Zucchini Fries:
1 cup plain bread crumbs (homemade or storebought)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan or pecorino
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper (scale back to 1/4 teaspoon if you’re adverse to spice)
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
2 large eggs, beaten
4-5 zucchini
Preheat oven to 425˙F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray. On a plate, mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, red crushed pepper flakes, oregano, salt and pepper. In a small to medium bowl, beat the two large eggs.
Cut the zucchini into batons. One by one, dip the zucchini batons in the beaten eggs and transfer to the plate with the bread crumb mixture, being sure to coat the zucchini thoroughly. Place the bread crumb covered zucchini on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, checking on them after 10 and flipping them to ensure thorough baking. Remove and serve with sauces.
For Roasted Garlic Aioli:
1 whole head garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup mayonnaise
Salt and Pepper
1 sprig of chives, diced
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Lop off the top of the garlic, exposing the cloves, and discard. Pour the olive oil on top and add dash of salt and pepper. Wrap it in foil or parchment and bake for 45 minutes. Let cool.
Take the garlic out of its shell and add to a food processor, along with mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Pulse until smooth. Transfer aioli to a bowl and stir in chives.
For Sriracha Mayonnaise:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon of Sriracha
Dash of salt
Add all three ingredients to a small bowl and mix. If you like it more spicy, add more Sriracha.

This is my kind of fry recipe! Yum!
Omguh…. I need these. I need these in my life. When the grocery store opens, I’m gonna get on this.
oh my god, the dips are too die for.. will make them TONIGHT have no zucchini, what else would go well?
I have a garden full, send me your address 🙂
Love these pics!
These look, if I may borrow your terminology, Amazeballs (lol!)
How can you not love anything that is breaded and deep fried?
Delicious … is it wrong to crave them for breakfast 🙂
Dang girl! You make food that I want to shove in my face on a daily basis. Yep.
Ahhh, I want to make zucchini fries!
I have just died. Why don’t we live closer? No, really.
I need these in my belly, STAT.
OMG, I NEED these in my life STAT!!

Oh, these look so good. Is it wrong to not want to share these with anyone when I make them?
The answer to my overgrown, 5 lb zuchinni prayers. He’s going to love going into this crunchy, aioli bath and I will love you for it. Terrific post and great blog.
this looks SO delicious.
Fashionable Collections
hello gorgeous! and talk about some sexy dipping sauces to go with ’em! a very good day indeed 🙂
Yum! I never thought of zucchini fries. I have zucchini coming out of my ears thanks to my mom’s garden and I am desperate for new recipes. This looks awesome.
-Erin
PS Have I mentioned how much I love your new blog look?
E! Thank you! xo
Deep fried zucchini sticks are one of my guilty pleasures, this looks like the perfect compromise. Heck, I think they’ll probably be more addictive.
Wow. They look absolutely delicious!
Love everything about this post! I love roasting garlic .. it adds so much flavor and tastes soo better.
These look WONDERFUL!! Thanks for sharing- we’ll be trying these for sure!
Oh my gosh. Obviously I will be making these this weekend. I love zucchini. I freaking adore aioli, and I haven’t had any in like 2 years. Sold.
On a related note, I know you say you’re not interested in making french fries, but sweet potato fries with aioli is the stuff of dreams and legends. Actually, if you can find red kumara (okay, that’s what it’s called in NZ) aka Japanese sweet potatoes (I think? maybe?) aka a reddish/purplish skinned sweet potato with white flesh that turns a mottled white and grey when cooked (it looks kind of sickly, but it is actually one of the more delicious things on the planet), that is the absolute best.
Oh Sarah, I can totally get down with making sweet potato fries. And Iove all of these different potato varieties you speak of. I’m gonna do some research now!! TY! xo
WOW, Looks so delicious! I want them
I seriously think that there’s a current conspiracy causing everyone I know to have a surplus of ENORMOUS zucchinis. I am going to get RIGHT down on both of these zucchini recipes on Saturday in order to finally have some counter space, and also to have the deliciousness.
Also, I feel like we should be friends. That is all.
Umm…we ARE friends. Duh.
I make zucchini fries all the time usually with roasted garlic aioli. They are so good! Can’t wait to try them with Sriracha mayo. A little something spicy is always delicious!! Thanks for sharing!
Seriously, all three recipes made me drool… can you get foodgasms just by looking at pics and reading recipes?? I have been on a zucchini rush already this year and seeing this, it sure ain’t gon stop! Too bad I did not grow any myself this year.
Thank You!

Dip is pretty much my favorite thing. These look tremendous!
MMM Delish and super cute! And I’ve always loved back to school season! New cute clothes/backpack/stationary! It’s too bad the culinary school I’m heading to this September (like all others) has a uniform, so no excuse to buy new cute clothes. Sigh.
Great post as always! <3
These look fab! I made some of these with a Romseco sauce, but the garlic aioli looks fab! You could use some of that leftover Sriracha Mayo on Salmon like in my post here: http://www.recklessabandoncook.com/2011/08/stuffed-salmon-with-spicy-mayo-sauce.html
This looks amazing!!! Can’t wait to try making these !
http://www.therosiestcheeks.com
Whaaaa?!!? Those sauces look out of this world. I love this.
I loooove fries made from vegetables besides potatoes. I love the portobello fries. Can’t wait to make those.
I will have to try your recipe, I cannot get my zucchini fries to crisp up. Love the sriracha mayo idea…we dip ours in curry mayo!
These just came out of the oven and they are SO good. The sriracha mayo is my favorite for sure.
I am making this tonight! Perfect for my over abundant zucchini plant. And hungry kids.

I stumbled upon your blog while searching for zucchini recipes. I just made your zucchini fries…AMAZING! They are the best zucchini fries I have ever eaten. Much healthier than frying! Thank you for the recipe, I will be making these for all my friends!
I just made these and made a few variations… First I used one egg and one egg white, and then reduced the amount of cheese to 25g (~1/4cup) for 800g (1.75lbs) of zucchini. This totals about 800cals total, divided into 5 servings makes 160cal/serving.
They are fantastic!!! Thank you for sharing this!
The fries were delicious! What a good way to eat the healthy stuff. I didn’t make either of the sauces though. Also, used panko vs. regular breadcrumbs. Third recipe I’ve tried of yours, third hit! Keep them coming! They make my husband think that I’m a good cook.
This makes me super happy. Like the panko variation, too.
Made these out of an old piece of french bread, two zucchini’s and a block of cheap parmesean. Holy-crap. Could be the bottle of cheap white wine, but regardless, these were the bomb.com. And the aoli???…..couldn’t ask for a better late night snack. Thanks!
oh my my. these look so super delicious. just when i thought zucchini couldn’t get any better. have you tried eggplant yet?
I haven’t (I’m personally not a fan of eggplant) but I think they’d work great!

I am soooo glad I found your site with this recipe! I have been HUNGERING and searching for a recipe that would remind me of the best zucchini fries ever that I grew up on in California and I think you’ve provided that! Can’t wait to try this recipe and I love that they are baked and not fried but still look like I remember…
THANK YOU 🙂
I just bought some zucchinis over the wknd and was trying to think of something different to do with them. This would be a perfect side dish for my meatball subs! thanks!
I am a fan, as of tonight when I made these and had a tongue-gasim… The garlic sauce was so delicious I actually made everyone at the table stop talking so I could concentrate. My 8 & 11 year old boys also ate with gusto. Supertastic.
Tongue-gasm. I dig it!
Lets just say, they taste better with a Chunky Blue Cheese dressing….I grew up eating these at a place called “The Kettle” in Manhattan Beach, CA on Manhattan ave…and I live for it….
