They are crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Enjoy them on their own or dip them in the yummiest vegan sour cream. So good! These crispy bites are a great appetizer you can share with your friends and family. But they can also be a nutritious snack or side dish. They require just a few simple ingredients and minimal cooking. To keep this snack as healthy as possible I used whole wheat sourdough breadcrumbs and baked these in the oven with very little olive oil (you can even skip the oil), but you can shallow fry or deep fry your zucchini sticks if you prefer them that way (not healthy, though). **These vegan zucchini fries are such a wonderful treat and I hope you love them as much as we do.

This step is optional, you can omit it if you follow an oil-free diet. - Cut the zucchini into medium size sticks or wedges. About 3 ½ inches (9 centimeters) long and ½ inch (1 – 1,5 centimeters) thick. - Add chickpea flour, tapioca starch, thyme, garlic powder, sea salt, water and apple cider vinegar to a medium shallow bowl. Whisk until well combined. - Place the breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl. - Dip a zucchini stick in the chickpea mixture, toss to coat. Then coat the zucchini in the breadcrumbs and transfer to the baking sheet. - Repeat this process with the rest of the zucchini pieces. You can spray the coated zucchini pieces with a little more olive oil, completely optional. - Bake for 25 – 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the fries are golden on the outside and tender on the inside. - Serve immediately with vegan sour cream (recipe below) and enjoy! - VEGAN SOUR CREAM: - Drain and rinse cashews. - Add all ingredients, including cashews, to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy. - Transfer to a small bowl. - Enjoy! ### Notes * Soaking nuts overnight makes them a whole lot healthier (you can read more about it [here](https://www.foodmatters.com/article/the-benefits-of-soaking-nuts-and-seeds) ). But if you want to make this now, soak the cashews in boiling water for 20 - 30 minutes. This will soften them quickly. ### Search ### Recent Post - [Single-Serve Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/12/04/single-serve-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookie/) - [Herbed Quinoa Pea Salad](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/10/21/herbed-quinoa-pea-salad/) - [Greek-Inspired Potato Stew](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/30/greek-inspired-potato-stew/) - [No Churn Vegan Chocolate Almond Ice Cream](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/23/no-churn-vegan-chocolate-almond-ice-cream/) - [Apple Pecan Cookies](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/08/18/apple-pecan-cookies/) ### Archives Archives Select Month December 2025 October 2025 September 2025 August 2025 June 2025 April 2025 October 2024 September 2024 August 2024 July 2024 June 2024 May 2024 April 2024 March 2024 December 2023 November 2023 October 2023 September 2023 August 2023 July 2023 June 2023 May 2023 April 2023 March 2023 February 2023 January 2023 December 2022 November 2022 October 2022 September 2022 August 2022 July 2022 June 2022 May 2022 April 2022 March 2022 February 2022 January 2022 December 2021 November 2021 October 2021 September 2021 August 2021 July 2021 June 2021 May 2021 April 2021 March 2021 February 2021 January 2021 December 2020 November 2020 October 2020 September 2020 August 2020 June 2020 May 2020 April 2020 January 2017 ### Leave a Reply [Cancel reply](/2022/05/02/baked-zucchini-fries-with-vegan-sour-cream/#respond) You must be [logged in](https://mondaydreams.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmondaydreams.com%2F2022%2F05%2F02%2Fbaked-zucchini-fries-with-vegan-sour-cream%2F) to post a comment.
