These Crispy Zucchini Fries are a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional fries, offering the perfect crunch without the extra calories. Coated in a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese, they bake up golden and crispy, making them an irresistible snack or side dish. The zucchini remains tender inside while the crispy coating gives every bite a satisfying crunch.
- Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis, cut into fries (about 1/2-inch thick)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (or gluten-free panko)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil spray (for baking)
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray with olive oil.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for the panko breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each zucchini fry into the flour, coating it evenly, then dip into the beaten egg, and finally coat with the panko mixture. Place the breaded zucchini fries onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Once all the fries are coated, lightly spray them with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the zucchini fries are golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch.
