Instructions
Creating delicious Zucchini Fries is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Zucchini: Rinse the zucchinis and slice them into thin fry-like shapes, about ¼ inch thick.
3. Set Up Breading Stations: In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Coat the Zucchini: Dip each zucchini stick first into the flour, ensuring it’s coated, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing slightly to adhere.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated zucchini fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they’re spaced apart for even cooking.
6. Spray with Oil: Lightly spray the zucchini fries with olive oil for an extra crispy texture.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even baking.
8. Cool Slightly: Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
