Ingredients
– 2 medium zucchinis
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)

Instructions
Follow these steps to create your Crispy Zucchini Fries:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Zucchini: Wash and dry the zucchinis. Cut them into fry-sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Set Up Breading Station: In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. Coat Zucchini: Dip each zucchini strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat the strip with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated zucchini fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure crispiness.
6. Spray with Oil: Lightly spray the tops of the fries with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil for added crispiness.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip the fries halfway through for even cooking.
8. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
