Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchini
  • cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup plain Panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set the baking sheet to the side.
  • Wash your Zucchini thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut each zucchini in half then cut them into even strips or wedges (see picture above). Set zucchini fries to the side.
  • Get 3 shallow dishes or plates. In the first dish add the all-purpose flour. In the second dish, beat 2 large eggs very well. In the third dish, add the Panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and garlic powder. Mix well until fully combined.
  • Start dipping the zucchini fries first into the flour. Add a thin coat of flour and shake off any excess flour. 
  • After adding flour, dip the zucchini fries into the egg mixture. Make sure to fully coat the zucchini with the egg and let any excess drip off.
  • Now transfer the zucchini fries to the breadcrumb mixture. Flip the fries around and press them down into the breadcrumbs making sure to fully coat each fry completely.
  • Transfer the breaded zucchini fries to the parchment lined baking sheet. Space them evenly apart so heat can circulate around each fry. Try not to crowd the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, flipping the fries half-way through. 
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, like marinara sauce, or just eat them by themselves like I do and enjoy!

Notes

Zucchini fries are definitely best when served crispy and hot. The longer they sit the more moisture releases from the zucchini and causes the outside not to be as crispy.
