1 Ingredients
| Qty | Item |
|---|---|
| 3 units | Medium zucchini |
| 0.5 cup | Panko breadcrumbs |
| 0.5 cup | Grated Parmesan cheese |
| 0.25 cup | All-purpose flour |
| 2 units | Large eggs |
| 1 tsp | Dried oregano |
| 0.5 tsp | Garlic powder |
| 1 cup | Marinara sauce |
| to taste null | Salt and black pepper |
2 Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Trim the ends of the zucchini and cut them into sticks approximately 1/2 inch thick and 3-4 inches long.
Set up three shallow bowls for the breading station: one with the flour, salt, and pepper; the second with the beaten eggs; and the third with a mixture of panko, parmesan, oregano, and garlic powder.
Dredge each zucchini stick in the flour, then dip into the egg, and finally roll in the parmesan-panko mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres.
Arrange the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch to allow for proper airflow.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Serve the hot zucchini fries immediately with the warm marinara sauce for dipping.
💡 Tips & Tricks
-
·
Pat the zucchini sticks dry with a paper towel before dredging to help the flour stick better.
-
·
For extra crunch, spray the coated fries lightly with olive oil cooking spray before placing them in the oven.
-
·
If using an air fryer, cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
-
·
Grating your own Parmesan from a block will result in a better flavor and more even melt than pre-shredded varieties.
