If you put a wire rack like a cooling rack on or in a cooking sheet pan it will make what you are cooking crispy on both sides without turn them

I have tried this recipe before, and have used the cooling rack on the cookie sheet. Great idea. If I don not have chips, I just use cracker crumbs. Not as "hot" however suits my taste. Love this web site!!

Thanks for that tip! Yes, I would like my zucchini fries crispy on both sides! Who wouldn't! lol And since they're so delicate, not having to turn them is going to help hold their shape until crispy and firm. I make my own buttermilk ranch dip that I'll use for these. It's what they served at Logan's steakhouse and the two went together great.
