Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Olive oil 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 in half crosswise, then cut each half lengthwise into fry-like sticks, about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Set up three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour. In the second dish, whisk the eggs. In the third dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Working in batches, coat each zucchini stick first in flour, shaking off any excess.
  5. Dip the floured zucchini into the whisked eggs, letting any excess drip off.
  6. Finally, coat the zucchini sticks generously with the panko mixture, pressing gently to help the breadcrumbs adhere.
  7. Place the coated zucchini fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Lightly spray the fries with olive oil spray.
  9. Bake for 20-25 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 placed on the baking sheet.
  • Experiment with different seasonings in the panko mixture, like Italian herbs or cayenne pepper for a kick.
  • Ensure the zucchini sticks are dry before coating for best adhesion.
