WOW!! These zucchini fries came out ten times better than I was expecting! Don't get me wrong, I thought they would be good but these were fantastic!! This was a total experiment that my sister-in-law Karelia, and I did and they were so yummy!! We went to the store looking for Almond Meal but they were out so we decided to try Flax Meal... So glad we did and so glad the store was out of Almond Meal!! After baking we realized the Flax Meal gave it the perfect crunch coating and such a great flavor!! We kept saying we could have eaten a whole tray by ourselves... but we had to share! Boooo!!! I will be making these all the time! Great for lunch or dinner... healthy snack for kids!!
