Parmesan Veggie Fries with Lemon Aioli
These are pretty much “no guilt fries”
They have the same shape as fries…
But they aren’t really “fries” at all because they are roasted
Load on the lemon zest for some zing
and lots of shredded Parmesan
Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper
The parmesan forms a crispy crust like Frico
Serve them as an appetizer or a side dish
Lemon aoli is a nice dipping sauce
but they are very tasty without it too~
Either way, they are a great little nosh!
Parmesan Veggie Fries with Lemon Aioli
Ingredients
Vegetable Fries
- zucchini
- fresh green beans
- lemons
- Parmesan
- salt and pepper
- olive oil
Lemon Aioli
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 lemon, juiced
- garlic powder to taste
- pepper to taste
- lemon zest, optional
Instructions
Vegetable Fries
- Cut zucchini into fries by cutting in half horizontally, then cutting these pieces in half vertically, and in half again vertically.
- Trim ends of green beans.
- Place fries on a foil lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and cover with Parmesan and lemon zest
- Roast at 400 for 12-15 minutes until vegetables are soft and cheese is crisped. Serve immediately with Lemon Aioli if desired.
Lemon Aioli
- Melt butter in the microwave in a measuring cup. Let cool 1 minute then whisk in mayo with a fork until smooth and creamy.
- At this point taste and decide if the sauce is too thin, too thick or just right. Add more melted butter or lemon if too thick, more mayo if too thin and more seasoning if necessary. Garnish with lemon zest.
