Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs (optional) For additional crunch

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Slice the zucchinis into long, thin strips, resembling fries. For extra crispiness, salt the zucchini strips and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out moisture; then pat them dry.
Coating
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. If using breadcrumbs, add them here.
  2. Drizzle the olive oil over the zucchini strips and toss to coat them evenly. Roll each piece into the cheese and seasoning mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Baking
  1. Arrange the coated zucchini fries on a lined baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded for optimal crispness.
  2. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the fries are golden and crispy. Flip them halfway through for even cooking.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

You can use different types of cheese for varied flavors. Ensure zucchini pieces are dry to avoid soggy fries. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days, or frozen for up to 2 months.
