Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 0 cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Cut off both ends, and slice the zucchinis into thin, fry-like strips about 3 inches long.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
In another shallow dish, beat the egg until well combined.
Step 5
Dip each zucchini strip into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks.
Step 6
Place the coated zucchini strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each strip for even cooking.
Step 7
Lightly spray the zucchini fries with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the zucchini fries are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Serve immediately, either plain or with a side of marinara sauce or Greek yogurt dip for extra flavor.
