Vegan Spiced Zucchini “Fries” Recipe

Ingredients:

4 medium zucchini 

½ cup nutritional yeas

t ¼ cup your choice of flour (whole wheat, almond, etc.) 

2 tablespoons ground flax seeds 

½ teaspoon dried cumin 

½ teaspoon red chili flakes ½ teaspoon sea salt

¾ cup water 

 ¼ cup tamari

 ¼ cup safflower oil (plus enough to grease a baking sheet) 

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a large cookie or baking sheet. Cut zucchini into fry-like strips. Set aside. 

In a separate bowl, mix together yeast, flour, cumin, chili and salt.In a large bowl, mix together water, tamari, oil, lemon juice, and ground flax seeds. Mix well. In batches, drop the zucchini strips into the liquid. You can even marinade the strips in the liquid for a few hours for more flavor. (If doing this, you may need to double your liquid to cover all at once.) 

Then take the wet zucchini and dredge it in the dry mixture so each piece is well coated. Line the zucchini on the greased baking sheet and bake for about 15–20 minutes or until coating starts to brown and the zucchini are tender. 

Remove from oven and serve while still hot. Serve with a side of spiced ketchup (add a ½ teaspoon of Sriracha to ¼ cup of ketchup for a nice spicy kick). Enjoy!
