Instructions
Creating these Baked Zucchini Fries is straightforward. Just follow these steps for a crispy, golden result:
1. Preheat your oven: Set it to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for crisping.
2. Prepare Zucchini: Wash and trim the ends off the zucchini. Slice them into sticks about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Set Up Dipping Stations:
– In one bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
– In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Coat the Zucchini:
– Dip each zucchini stick first into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
– Then, coat them thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated zucchini fries in a single layer on a greased baking sheet. Make sure they’re not crowded to ensure even cooking.
6. Spray with Olive Oil: Lightly spray the tops of the zucchini fries with olive oil to help them crisp up.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Turn them halfway through for even cooking.
8. Cool & Serve: Once baked, allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a serving dish.
These steps will guide you in creating fabulous Baked Zucchini Fries without hassle or fuss.
