Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, cut into batons
Dredge and Coating
- 65 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 100 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with olive oil spray.
- Prepare dredging stations: Arrange three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one combining panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge the zucchini: Dip each zucchini baton first in flour, then in beaten egg, followed by an even coating of the breadcrumb mixture.
- Bake: Place coated zucchini in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly mist the surface with olive oil spray. Bake in preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until fries are golden and crisp.
- Serve: Serve immediately while hot with marinara, ranch, or aioli as desired.
Notes
- For best texture, blot excess moisture from zucchini before dredging to enhance crispness.
