Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Trim the ends off the zucchini then cut them in half widthwise. Cut each half into roughly 1/2-inch-thick fries.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour and garlic powder with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- In a separate shallow dish, whisk together the eggs. Add the breadcrumbs to a third shallow dish.
- Dredge the zucchini fries in the flour, shake off any excess, then dip them in the eggs and then into the breadcrumbs, coating them on all sides. Arrange the zucchini fries in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Spray the zucchini fries with cooking spray (optional) and bake them for 18 to 20 minutes, turning them once halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the zucchini fries from the oven and serve them with ketchup, marinara or Ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Try to cut the zucchini strips into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. This way, all the fries will be ready at the same time, preventing some from becoming overcooked while others are still undercooked.
- Seasoning is key to bringing out the best flavors in these veggie fries. Don't be afraid to season them generously with garlic powder, salt, and any other preferred herbs and spices.
- I highly recommend spraying the fries with cooking oil just prior to baking to help achieve that extra-crispy texture.
- To cook the fries in an air fryer: Air-fry them at 425°F for about 10 minutes, rotating them once halfway through and coating them with cooking spray to ensure a golden-brown crunch.
