Before dipping the zucchini pieces into the egg, toss them with a bit of all-purpose flour to absorb excess water. Alternatively, sprinkle the zucchini pieces with salt. Let them stand for 15 minutes to draw out moisture. Then, pat dry with a paper towel and dredge the zucchini as directed.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you serve zucchini fries?<\/h3>\n<p>Serve zucchini fries as an appetizer or side dish for sandwiches or burgers.
