These zucchini fingers are the perfect way to eat zucchini for a snack or light meal. Accompanied by tzaxiki sauce they are delicious but you can also accompany them with tomato sauce and you will love them.

I have prepared them from zucchini but they are also great eggplant and even pumpkin (although the pumpkin has to be cooked or roasted before so that it is soft) or potatoes.

They are very crispy and when baked they are very light. You'll tell me what you think
