Baked Zucchini Fries

This little squirt’s birthday was yesterday.

What a ham…right!?

We had quite an adventure getting him here {you can read about that funny story here} and I couldn’t be happier to be his mom.

He’s a pretty adventurous eater but he does hold a soft spot for ketchup.  He has even been known to dip fruit, pasta, or anything not nailed down on his plate into it.  Fortunately, for those with weak stomachs at the table, watching him dip these zucchini fries into it was not at all bothersome.

And he did it over and over again.  He just couldn’t get enough of them!

With zucchini in our garden ever plentiful I’m happy to serve these fries alongside any dinner.
