We know it’s hard to share our junk food-loving hearts with veggies, but we’ve found a healthy veggie snack that actually tastes like junk food. We’re talking big wedges of zucchini dusted with parmesan cheese, then baked until golden. Dip them in creamy garlic lemon mayo for a luscious lunch or an interesting appetizer. These are a great addition to your party table — even the carb-phobics will love ’em.

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking tray with parchment or a silicone mat. Chop the ends off both of the zucchinis, then chop in half width-ways. Slice each piece length-ways into quarters so you get long, fat fries.
2. Break the egg into a shallow bowl and whisk. Place the parmesan into a shallow bowl.
3.. Dip the zucchini wedges first into the egg, then roll in the parmesan. Place on the baking tray and repeat until all of the zucchini wedges are on the tray. Sprinkle on the salt and pepper.
4. Place in the oven to cook for 18 to 22 minutes until golden brown, then remove from the oven.
5. Mix together the dip ingredients in a small bowl (save a few chives to sprinkle on top of the dip).
6. Place the fries on a plate and sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Serve straight away with the garlic lemon mayo dip.
