Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Lightly coat the baking sheet with cooking spray.
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Cut them into fry-shaped sticks, approximately 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
Set up your breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Working in small batches, dredge the zucchini sticks in the flour, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured zucchini into the whisked eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off before transferring them to the breadcrumb mixture.
Roll the zucchini in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres evenly on all sides.
Place the breaded zucchini sticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other.
Lightly spray the tops of the zucchini fries with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake the zucchini fries in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
