Description
Crispy baked zucchini fries make a healthy and delicious snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and trim the ends of the zucchini. Cut each zucchini into 1/4-inch thick sticks, resembling fries.
- Set up three shallow dishes. In the first, place the flour. In the second, place the beaten eggs. In the third, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge each zucchini stick first in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated. Finally, press the zucchini stick into the breadcrumb mixture, coating all sides.
- Place the coated zucchini sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Lightly spray the tops of the zucchini fries with olive oil spray.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can bake them a few minutes longer, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Experiment with different seasonings in the breadcrumb mixture, such as paprika or Italian herbs.
- Serve with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or aioli for dipping.
