This month, I just wanted to take a break from blogging for awhile. But, I miss writing on my blog. I know that some of the readers wonder where I was away from blogging. Good to be back here 🙂 Everyone love vegetables, some people become vegans for some health reasons. To me, I am not 100% full-time vegan. I consider myself to be fairly vegan and meat lover. My family is mostly meat lovers (especially my husband, his mom was vegetarian until she was pregnant with him, go figure); unfortunately, they are not fully vegans, or even vegetarian. They dislike eating vegetables. I keep encouraging my husband and my sons to eat some vegetables such as carrots, celery, broccoli, and a green salad. In fact, vegetables have a lot of great nutrients. I know that my husband and two sons love bacon, but to me – bacon is very greasy, right? I have no trouble eating bacon. I’ve thought about making both bacon and vegetables. I’ve got such an amazing idea – bacon zucchini fries! It might work and it might not, but I have high hopes!
Easy Bacon Zucchini Fries
Ingredients
- 1-2 zucchinis
- 8-10 bacon strips
- Your favorite dressings or sauces (Optional)
Instructions
Preheat 425° in the oven. Wash all the dirt off zucchinis and then slice all.
Wrap each wedge in bacon.
Place the wedges on the baking sheet. Do not forget to take vegetable oil spray.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the bacon turns brown.
Let them be cool for awhile and then serve all with your favorite dressings or sauces.
So what do you think?
We (when we can find) take fresh water chestnuts and wrap them in bacon. I think this would work in a similar way, as long as the bacon was crisp. Sounds easy!
These look so good especially since it has bacon. I am going to make this over the Thanksgiving holidays as they are sure to be a hit.
Ohhh, these sound like a great appetizer or side dish. I bet they are delicious dipped in Ranch dressing!
Oh my GOSH I am SO making these tomorrow! My kids have off tomorrow and I see what’s gonna be for lunch OH Bacon and some hidden veggies WIN-WIN! Thanks for sharing.
Yum!! I love this combination. Zucchini and bacon are so delicious together.
Oh my goodness, yum! These look amazing and yet easy to make. I can’t wait to try this recipe.

I love zucchini. It’s such a versatile vegetable. And who doesn’t like bacon? Combining the two sounds awesome. Worth trying for sure! Thanks for sharing.
I love zucchini fries! Never thought about adding bacon into the mix but YUM I think I need to!
What a yummy idea! Plus, everything is better with bacon, right!?
Trying to cut down my meat intake lately but these look nice! I love zucchini
this one looks inviting. I love bacon, so I must be trying this 🙂
Oh my gosh, yes! I am a HUGE fan of anything with bacon.
These look yummy! This is probably the only way I could get my youngest kiddos to eat zucchini. Bacon is always a good idea though. 🙂 Thanks for the super easy recipe!
This is different, I like different! I love zucchini and I think that I would really like these. They look delicious and I know my husband would love the fact that bacon is also involved. Yum!
These look so yummy. I would love to make these because they look pretty easy to put together. Wondering what the best dip/dressing would be for this?
Krystel, you can try bleu cheese or ranch dip 🙂
Ooh thanks for sharing this recipe!
I’d love to make this for the man.
These sound amazing!!! Anything with bacon is perfect in my opinion, what a great way to make zucchini!
I have never seen zucchini fries like this! I am dying to make these now. We all know that everything is better with bacon!
Anything with bacon is worth a try! Does the zucchini get too soft, I wonder?
Echo – they are not TOO soft. Just let the paper towels absorb the oil by setting the fries on top of the paper towels on a plate.
These look so ridiculously yummy! I cannot resist something that includes bacon. 🙂
OMG i love how itts wrapped in bacon. looks mouth watering!! i havent had Zucchini before
Oh my! I would eat the whole pan! How did you come up with this? YUM!
