Baked Parmesan Zucchini Fries are a deliciously healthy snack that offers a crispy texture and savory flavor, perfect for satisfying cravings without the guilt.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, cut into fries
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Cooking spray or olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each zucchini fry into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Place the coated fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Lightly spray or drizzle the zucchini fries with cooking spray or olive oil to help them crisp up.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the breadcrumb mixture.
- You can also substitute the zucchini with eggplant or sweet potatoes for a different twist on this dish.
