How To Cut Zucchini Fries
Learn the step-by-step picture guide on the proper way to slice, cut zucchini into strips to make zucchini fries.
Equipment
- cutting board
- Knife
Ingredients
- zucchini
Instructions
- First, rinse the zucchini with cold water, then slice off the top and bottom ends, trimming about 1/2 inch from each.
- Next, using a sharp knife, slice the zucchini vertically, as shown in the picture above, into 1/2-inch thick pieces. It's important to keep the thickness consistent so that every fry bakes perfectly.
- If cut too thick, they won’t bake properly. If cut too thin, they’ll turn slimy and too soft, making the zucchini fries less enjoyable.
- Continue slicing the zucchini vertically. Depending on its size, you should end up with about 4-6 pieces.
- Arrange the zucchini neatly and slice them into strips, about 3 inches long, just like fries. Be consistent with the length to ensure they bake and cook evenly.
