Crispy Oven Zucchini Fries
These Crispy Oven Zucchini Fries are a healthier version of zucchini fries. I have included a recipe for Apricot Dipping Sauce, which is a nod to the beloved Hamburger Hamlet restaurant chain in Los Angeles. They were famous for their Zucchini Zircles. You can also cut them into discs. I really hate deep-frying, so these are done in the oven, which is so much easier and less messy.
