Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • cooking spray OR oil
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 pound zucchini (cut into 1/2-inch sticks)

Instruction

  • Prep: Preheat the oven to 425°Coat a baking sheet with oil or cooking spray (you can line it with aluminum foil for easier clean up, the fries could turn out a little less crispy though - do NOT use silicone baking mats or parchment, or the fries will be soggy).
  • Prepare breading: Mix all ingredients for the flour mix in a shallow dish OR in a large zip-loc bag. Place the egg in a separate shallow dish and beat well. Mix all ingredients for the parmesan breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish - I like using a 7x11 baking pan.
  • Coat zucchini: Thinly coat the zucchini fries first with the flour mix, then coat with beaten egg. Finally, thickly coat with the breadcrumb mix.
  • Bake: Bake on the prepared baking sheet for 20 minutes, or until crispy, turning once. If the zucchini sticks to the pan, don't just rip it away - use an offset spatula to loosen it (if you use enough oil or cooking spray, it will not stick). Serve immediately with your favorite dips.
