Baked Parmesan Zucchini Fries with Garlic Aioli | Lemons and Basil

If you happened to see my post last week for these super-yummy Spinach Pesto Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, then you might have noticed they were accompanied by a stack of zucchini strips, encrusted in a Panko-Parmesan-fresh-herb-goodness and baked-to-perfection! Or what I’m referring to as Baked Parmesan Zucchini Fries with the all-too-important-to-skip Garlic Aioli!

Essentially the grilled cheese sandwiches were part one to this veggie-garlic-infused duo. As in, make the two together!

I’m sure you’ve seen several recipes floating around the internet for baked zucchini fries or chips, and you’ve likely even made them before or have a killer go-to recipe that you love. BUT, have you made them with a side of garlic aioli? Because that my friend, is what makes these baked veggies feel less like a healthy alternative, and more like a yes-please-give-me-the-zucchini-over-regular-potato-fries-anyday option!

The garlic aioli comes together in a matter of minutes with just a little Greek yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, garlic {duh}, salt and pepper. And while I can’t help but feel like it’s a necessity for these baked zucchini fries, I also found that a little goes a long way – which means leftovers! 🙌🏻 We had nearly half the recipe below left and it made for a great alternative to mayo on toasted sandwiches – sooooo good!
