Crispy planted based snack with dairy free ranch

Course Side Dish
Author Elisa

Ingredients

  • olive, coconut, or peanut oil for frying (enough to cover them)
  • 1 cup alternative milk
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp smoked sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 cup tapioca starch or arrowroot
  • 1/2 cup gluten free, nightshade free flour
  • 2 zucchini squash cut french fry style
  • 1 serving ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil over medium/high heat in a skillet before preparing the zucchini so it has enough time to heat up. 

  2. Put the flours and seasonings on a plate (i used a rimmed paper plate) and mixed together. Put the milk in a wide bowl or tupperware dish. 

  3. Dip a zucchini stick into the milk and then gently roll it in the flour mixture. Tap off any excess flour and put it in the oil for about 5-7 mins or until it starts to brown and turn crispy. Use tongs or a skimmer to retrieve them and put them on a paper towel lined plate. 

  4. Dip in my amazing ranch dressing and enjoy!

  5. To reheat, place in an air fryer for a couple mins to make them crispy again. Or you could put them in the oven.
