Ingredients
  

Zucchini Fries
  • 2 medium medium zucchinis, cut into batons Select smaller zucchinis for firmness and less water content.
  • 65 grams all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour if needed.
  • 2 large eggs, beaten For vegan option, substitute with a flaxseed mixture.
  • 100 grams panko breadcrumbs Regular breadcrumbs can be used, but panko is preferred for crunch.
  • 50 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated Feel free to use different cheese, like cheddar or mozzarella.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • to taste Salt Adjust according to personal preference.
  • to taste Freshly ground black pepper
  • as needed Olive oil spray Ensure to mist enough for crispiness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with olive oil spray.
  2. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coating and Baking
  1. Dip each zucchini baton into the flour, coating it evenly.
  2. Next, coat it in the egg mixture, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even layer.
  3. Arrange the coated zucchini fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and lightly mist the tops with olive oil spray.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately while hot, with marinara, ranch, or aioli if desired.
