Equipment

Nonstick Sheet Pan

Ingredients

3 medium zucchini cut into fries
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup parmesan cheese finely grated
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 large eggs
Nonstick Cooking Spray
1 Tbsp fresh parsley optional garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and coat your rimmed baking sheet with non-stick spray.
Cut your zucchini into fry shape and pat dry with paper towels.
In a shallow dish or larger bowl combine the panko, flour, parmesan, salt, onion powder, and pepper and mix well together.
In a separate bowl add the 2 eggs and whisk together.
Then, to prepare the fries, take the zucchini and coat in the beaten eggs and then coat in the bread crumbs mixture and place onto your prepared baking sheet. Repeat this step with all the zucchini.
Next, set your pan of coated fries in your fridge for 10 minutes to allow the coating to stick properly.
Before going into the oven, lightly spray the prepared zucchini with cooking spray.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, remove and coat with another light layer of cooking spray, rotate your pan around, and return to the oven for another 10 minutes or until beautifully golden brown.
Finally, serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

Notes

Note: My secret to keeping the crisp coating on is refrigerating the fries after they are coated but before going into the oven. You do not have to complete this step but I promise it makes all the difference!
