Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium zucchinis Fresh and firm zucchinis yield the best texture.
  • 1 cup bread crumbs Panko bread crumbs can be used for extra crunch.
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese For a savory flavor.
  • 2 large eggs For coating the zucchini.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Offers additional flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Adds to the seasoning.
  • to taste Salt For seasoning.
  • to taste Pepper For seasoning.
  • as needed Cooking spray or olive oil For baking.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a crispy texture.
  2. Wash and slice the zucchinis into fry-like sticks (about 1/2 inch thick).
  3. In one bowl, whisk the eggs. In another bowl, mix the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Dip each zucchini stick into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, then roll in the bread crumb mixture until fully coated.
  5. Place the coated zucchini fries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, giving them some space to breathe.
  6. Lightly spray cooking oil on them for even browning.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
  2. Let them cool slightly before serving with your favorite dip.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to restore crispness.
