Ingredients


For the Zucchini Fries:

• 2 medium sized zucchini

• ½ cup mayonnaise (or sour cream or Greek yogurt)
• 2 tsp horseradish (my addition)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Cut the zucchini in thirds so that each “chunk” is about 3-4 inches long. Then cut each chunk into 9 fries like this:
Whisk the eggs in a bowl until well mixed.

In a separate bowl, combine the coconut flour, arrowroot flour, Parmesan or Romano, and spices.

Pour melted coconut oil (or oil/fat of choice) onto a cookie sheet.  Dip the zucchini into the egg and then into the flour mixture.

Put the coated zucchini fries onto the cookie sheet

Bake for 15 minutes. Flip. Bake 15-20 more minutes or until golden brown.

Serve with the bloomin’ onion sauce and enjoy!

For the Bloomin’ Onion Sauce:

Place the onion, salt, and oil into a skillet over medium low heat.


Cook for 20-25 minutes stirring occasionally until the onions turn golden brown and caramelize.


Blend the caramelized onions, vinegar, honey and dijon with a hand blender (or food processor) until fairly smooth.


Stir in the mayonnaise (and horseradish if using).
Enjoy!
