Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis, cut into sticks
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 3/4 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the dredging stations: Place the flour in a shallow bowl, the beaten eggs in another bowl, and in a third bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Coat the zucchini: Working in batches, dredge each zucchini stick in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place the coated zucchini sticks on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Lightly spray the zucchini fries with cooking spray for extra crispiness. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli.
