1 cup frozen pineapple
1 banana, fresh or frozen
2 leave of flat-leaf kale, stems removed
1 cup apple [...]

These are a great party starter or appetizer to serve with drinks. They look and taste much more complicated than they are to make. Kids love shaking the bag to coat the zukes, and might even be tempted to eat some vegetables. This is my vegan and allergen-free version of Lidia Matticchio Bastianich’s fried succhini recipe.
Canola oil for [...]
