CAJUN ZUCCHINI FRIES



Cajun Zucchini Fries image

The combination of panko and cornmeal makes these fries (inspired by the flavors of Louisiana) especially crunchy.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
Kosher salt
2 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups stone-ground cornmeal
1 cup panko breadcrumbs (see Cook's Note)
1 pound zucchini (2 to 3 small to medium zucchini) cut into 3-inch-by-1/4-inch sticks
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Creole or whole-grain mustard
1/2 small dill pickle spear, finely chopped
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Louisiana-style hot sauce, such as Tabasco

Steps:

  • Adjust two oven racks to the top and bottom third of an oven and preheat oven to 425 F. Put the wire racks in the baking sheets and coat each generously with cooking spray.
  • Combine the flour and Cajun seasoning in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Combine the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in another large plastic bag; combine the cornmeal, breadcrumbs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a third large plastic bag.
  • Add about half of the zucchini sticks to the bag with the flour and use a combination of your hands and shaking the bag to coat the zucchini. Remove the zucchini and shake off any excess flour. Transfer to the egg wash and repeat until coated. (It's less messy if you use only one hand for the dry ingredients and the other for the wet.) Let any excess egg drip off before transferring to the breadcrumbs and repeat until fully coated (you'll still see some green and white of the zucchini peeking through the breading). Transfer to the prepared baking sheets and coat the breaded zucchini generously with cooking spray (there's no need to turn them). Repeat with the remaining zucchini.
  • Bake, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom about halfway through, until golden brown and tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, pickle and hot sauce in a small bowl. Serve with the zucchini fries.

Tips for Making the Best Cajun-Style Oven Fries:

  • Choose the right potatoes. Russet potatoes are the best choice for oven fries because they are starchy and have a fluffy interior.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes. This will help to remove excess starch and make the fries crispier.
  • Toss the potatoes with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Be sure to coat the potatoes evenly.
  • Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the fries will not cook evenly.
  • Bake the fries at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the fries immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Cajun-style oven fries are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a tasty snack or side dish, give these Cajun-style oven fries a try. You won't be disappointed!
