Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and trim the ends off the zucchinis. Cut each zucchini into fry-like sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Set up three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour. In the second, whisk the eggs. In the third, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Dip each zucchini stick first into the flour, shaking off any excess.
  5. Next, dip it into the whisked eggs, letting any excess drip off.
  6. Finally, coat the zucchini stick generously with the Parmesan-panko mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere.
  7. Place the coated zucchini fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Lightly drizzle with olive oil or spray with cooking spray.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can bake them on a wire rack set over the baking sheet.
  • Ensure the zucchini sticks are not overcrowded on the baking sheet for even cooking.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of dried herbs like oregano or parsley to the breadcrumb mixture.
