"I love dipping french fries, but when I am in the mood for dipping and don't want the extra carbs, I make these baked veggie wonders. Like the Calorie Commando says, "When you take out the fat, you want to add in flavor." By using a mix of spices, you can make zucchini taste wonderful!"

I really enjoyed these I used corn flour instead of the baking power. next time i will roll the zucchini sticks in the corn flour instead of putting them in a zip lock bag as i had a bit much flour on them.

All I could taste was slightly spiced up baking powder. Maybe if it was cornmeal or something instead baking powder it would have turned out better. But then again, I never have much luck with zucchini.

Have made these twice - first time as is, the second with cumin and chilli, both delicious. Great tasty, healthy snack that is open to change depending on your taste.
