Equipment
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 teaspoon 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 (218 degrees Celsius) and coat a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray.
- Cut the zucchini into fry shapes and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a shallow dish or large bowl, combine the panko, flour, parmesan, salt, onion powder, and pepper, and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, add the eggs and whisk until combined.
- Then, to prepare the fries, coat the zucchini in the beaten eggs, then in the breadcrumb mixture, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining zucchini.
- Next, set the pan of coated fries in the 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 for 10 minutes, remove from the oven, coat with another light layer of cooking spray, rotate the pan, and return to the oven for another 10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Finally, serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

Notes
-To help the crisp coating stick, I chill the fries in the fridge after coating and before baking. You can skip this step, but it truly makes a difference!
STORE any leftover Baked Zucchini Parmesan Fries in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days.
To REHEAT, use an air fryer or preheated oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit (163 degrees Celsius) for 5–10 minutes. You can also microwave them until warmed through, though the coating won’t stay crisp. These aren’t ideal for freezing—the breading softens as they thaw and doesn’t crisp back up well in the oven.
