Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium zucchini, sliced into thin strips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free option)
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil for baking
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking oil.
- Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Take each zucchini strip and coat it first in flour, then dip into the egg, and finally roll in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.
- Place the coated zucchini fries on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil for extra crunch.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, spicy mayo, or ketchup.
Notes
- For an even crispier texture, consider air frying or deep frying the zucchini fries.
- Use fresh, firm zucchini for best results.
- You can substitute gluten-free flours or breading options as per dietary preferences.
