Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Cut off both ends, and slice the zucchinis into thin, fry-like strips about 3 inches long.
In a shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, beat the egg until well combined.
Dip each zucchini strip into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks.
Place the coated zucchini strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each strip for even cooking.
Lightly spray the zucchini fries with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the zucchini fries are golden brown and crispy.
Serve immediately, either plain or with a side of marinara sauce or Greek yogurt dip for extra flavor.
