Notes
Make sure the zucchini sticks have a uniform thickness. This way, they will take the same time to bake. Also, make sure the zucchini is not cut into small sticks - they may overcook and turn too soft.
Roll the zucchini sticks well making sure it is completely coated.
Use besan (gram flour/chickpea flour) for the extra crunchy texture.
Baking time depends on the oven. Keep a close eye after 14-15 minutes. Overbaked zucchini fries may turn soggy.
