Do You Peel Zucchini Before Using It? You do not need to peel zucchini before slicing it. I prefer to leave the skin on the zucchini for that added crispy texture.How Do You Make Zucchini Fries Crispy? Make sure to pat dry the zucchini when you are done rinsing it off. The smaller the zucchini, the crispier it will get. At the end of baking, switch to the broiler and broil the zucchini for 1 to 2 minutes.
