"Fried" Zucchini and Sweet Onion Dip
Every once in a while we all crave greasy bar food! These "breaded" zucchini strips are just the thing to feel like you are getting a non paleo treat! Make sure to bake them until they are crispy and serve immediately or you will risk them getting soggy.

Dip
½ Sweet Onion
½ Tablespoon Ghee
1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1 ½ Tablespoons Spicy Mustard
2 Tablespoons Paleo Mayo
2 Tablespoons Water
½ Sweet Onion
½ Tablespoon Ghee
1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1 ½ Tablespoons Spicy Mustard
2 Tablespoons Paleo Mayo
2 Tablespoons Water
1 Tablespoon Honey
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut both ends off the zucchini. Cut the zucchini into 1/4” strips, and then fries. Cut them in half lengthwise once. Put them in a bag and toss them with the coconut flour. In a small dish scramble the egg with the water. In a separate small plate, combine the blanched almond flour, pork rind crumbs (pulse plain pork rinds in a food processor to create crumbs) and red pepper.
2. Cover a baking sheet in foil and coat it with nonstick cooking spray. Dredge each zucchini strip in egg, then the crumb mixture. Place them evenly spaced in the baking sheet. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes, flip and bake an additional 5-10 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Serve immediately!
3. While the zucchini bakes, peel and slice the half onion. In a medium frying pan, melt the ghee and add in the onion. Sauté the onion for 5-10 minutes until it is browned and caramelized. Add the onion, apple cider vinegar, mustard, paleo mayonnaise, honey and water to blender. Blend on high until almost completely smooth. Serve with hot zucchini.
