Instructions
Ready to create crispy perfection? Follow these step-by-step instructions to make your Crispy Zucchini Fries:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prep the Zucchini: Wash and dry the zucchinis. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to resemble fries.
3. Prepare the Breading Stations: In a bowl, whisk the eggs until combined. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Coat the Zucchini: Dip each zucchini strip into the egg, letting excess drip off, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press firmly to ensure the coating sticks. Repeat with all zucchini strips.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated zucchini fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spray lightly with cooking spray or drizzle olive oil over them.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
7. Cool Slightly: Once cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet.
8. Serve: Transfer the crispy zucchini fries to a serving platter. They are best served warm.
