Zucchini Fries and 11 Other Veggie Fries to Try
These french fries are the perfect balance of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are so good, even the veggie haters will love them!
1. Baked Zucchini Fries
"Great way to get in the veggies!" says veggiegm. "Cut the zukes into 3-inch sections, and then cut each tube into 6 spears."
2. Carrot Chips
At first glance, you might mistake these baked crunchy chips for sweet potato fries. Their vibrant orange color and sweet flavor are similar, but that's where their likenesses end. "Trust me, you won't be able to eat just one, they are surprisingly good," says Allrecipes member lutzflcat.
3. Green Bean Fries
Get in a serving of vegetables with these light and crunchy green bean fries. Set up a mini assembly line to make them in three easy steps. Don't have fresh green beans? Use the bag of frozen green beans you have in the freezer, just be sure to thaw them first.
4. Butternut Squash Cajun Fries
These baked fries deliver spicy, salty, and slightly sweet flavors all at once. "This method of preparing butternut squash has quickly become the most requested among my crew, and I'm pleased to give them good food that's good for them," says Allrecipes member Nicolette.
5. Kim's Fried Asparagus
How can you go wrong with breading and frying something? You can't. Breaded asparagus is quickly fried, and best served immediately with the green chile dipping sauce (included as part of the recipe).
6. Green Banana Fries
Now you finally know what to make with those adorable little green bananas you've seen in the grocery store! Just make sure the bananas are green if you want them to taste like a traditional french fry. If you wait until they're yellow and ripe, they will yield sweeter fries.
7. Avocado Fries with Sriracha Garlic Dip
Not surprisingly, these fries are nice and crunchy on the outside, and creamy and delicious on the inside! Take them to the next level and make the Sriracha dip while the avocado fries are baking.
8. Crispy Turnip Fries
Who knew turnips were so tasty!? "I added a shake or two of panko to the bag with the seasonings and cheese. I cut mine into steak fry shape, and they needed probably twice as long in the oven, but they came out with a nice crunch from the panko," says Allrecipes member wisweetp.
9. Savory Sweet Potato Fries
Since the sweet potato is only distantly related to the potato, it shouldn't be excluded, right? One thing is for sure, these fries make us want to reach through the screen! Mouth. Watering.
