Crunchy Zucchini Wedges
Does anyone else buy a massive packet of corn chips, and always have a few handfuls left that you don’t know what to do with? Well, I do! So, I came up with this resourceful recipe so they don’t go to waste.
These zucchini wedges are a great addition to any meal as a tasty side or appetiser. They are baked, not fried and still super crunchy and fun to eat. A real hit with those picky family members who can be a challenge to convince to eat their zucchini.
Let’s be real, zucchini is not the tastiest or most exciting veggie, but this recipe makes it a real crowd pleaser! Also, if cheese or dairy is not for you, they still work a treat without it or try a dairy-free parmesan cheese.
