Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium zucchinis, cut into fry shapes
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese, finely grated for better adherence
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs, preferably whole wheat or Italian
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Olive oil spray, for a touch of crispy perfection

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Slice the zucchinis into fry shapes, about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. In one bowl, combine the beaten egg. In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, parmesan, salt, and pepper.
  4. Dip each zucchini fry into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, and then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing slightly to adhere.
  5. Arrange coated zucchini fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly spray the tops with olive oil.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Serving
  1. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Try different coatings like adding herbs or varying the types of breadcrumbs. Salt zucchini slices for 10-15 minutes before breading for extra crispiness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days; reheat in the oven to retain crispiness.
