Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 bottle olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Slice them into thin matchsticks, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes or bowls. In the first, place the flour. In the second, pour the almond milk. In the third, combine the cornmeal, panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each zucchini stick in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the almond milk, allowing any extra to drip off. Finally, coat the stick thoroughly in the cornmeal and panko mixture.
Place the coated zucchini sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not touching to allow even cooking.
Lightly spray the zucchini fries with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free crispy baked zucchini fries with your favorite dipping sauce!
