14 - 1 small garlic clove, minced
15 - 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro or parsley, finely chopped

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with olive oil spray.

03 - In a separate bowl, combine almond meal, Parmesan, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

05 - Lightly spray zucchini fries with olive oil. Bake for 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway, until golden and crisp.
06 - While baking, mash avocado in a small bowl until smooth. Stir in Greek yogurt, lime juice, minced garlic, and fresh herbs. Season with salt and black pepper.
07 - Present the warm zucchini fries alongside the silky avocado dip.

03 - Pairs excellently as a side, appetizer, or nutritious snack.
04 - Complements a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or sparkling water with lime.
