Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Cut off the ends, then slice them in half lengthwise. Cut each half into thin strips resembling fries.
In a shallow dish, place the all-purpose flour.
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
In a third dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Coat each zucchini stick in flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured zucchini into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Roll the zucchini in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the coated zucchini fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch to allow even baking.
Spray the tops of the zucchini fries lightly with cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through the baking time.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.
