Zucchini Dippers, breaded and baked zucchini fries, are a great side dish alongside grilled salmon or chicken, but can also be a main dish. TSP in the breading of the Zucchini Dippers adds a punch of protein. They are delicious with warmed marinara sauce, ranch dressing, chipotle mayo, honey mustard, or your favorite sauce. Just make sure that everyone gets a bowl of their own sauce, so they can double dip!
