# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The crunch is legitimately addictive, like restaurant fries without the guilt or carb crash
  • They reheat surprisingly well, making them perfect for meal prep lunches
02 -
  • Patting the zucchini completely dry is the difference between crispy and soggy, so don't rush this step
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet or the fries will steam instead of getting that golden crunch
03 -
  • Let the fries cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet before serving, they firm up even more
  • If reheating, use the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 8 to 10 minutes to restore crunch
