Crispy and delicious zucchini fries made with just four simple ingredients. These baked zucchini fries are a healthier alternative to traditional fries, featuring a crunchy panko and parmesan coating that’s perfect for dipping and snacking.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 large zucchini

Breading & Coating

  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Egg Wash

  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Zucchini: Slice the zucchini into thin matchstick-sized pieces. Lightly salt the zucchini sticks and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture, which helps achieve crispiness.
  3. Mix Coating: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine panko bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper thoroughly.
  4. Coat Zucchini: Dip each zucchini stick first into the egg mixture, then coat well with the panko and parmesan mixture. Place the coated zucchini fries onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Bake: Bake the zucchini fries in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, turning them regularly to ensure even crisping on all sides until they turn golden brown and crunchy.
  6. Serve: Remove the fries from the oven and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Lightly salting the zucchini before coating helps remove excess water and improves crispiness.
  • For extra flavor, you may add garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce such as marinara, ranch, or a spicy aioli.
  • Make sure to turn the fries during baking to ensure they crisp evenly on all sides.
