Baked Zucchini Fries


Baked Zucchini Fries are a delicious and healthy snack that everyone will love. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them a perfect alternative to regular fries. This recipe is simple to follow and can be enjoyed by both kids and adults!

Why Make This Recipe

If you’re looking for a way to enjoy vegetables in a fun and tasty way, Baked Zucchini Fries are the answer! They are low in calories and packed with nutrients. Plus, making them at home means you can control the ingredients and keep them healthy. They are perfect for parties, movie nights, or just a quick snack.

How to Make Baked Zucchini Fries

Making Baked Zucchini Fries is easy! Follow the steps below to create these tasty treats.

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchinis, cut into fries
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for baking

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil.
  2. Set up your dredging station with three shallow bowls: one for flour, one for the beaten eggs, and one for the panko breadcrumb mixture. In the breadcrumb bowl, mix together the panko, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Take each zucchini fry and dip it in the flour first, then the egg, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure each fry is well coated for that crispy goodness!
  4. Arrange the coated zucchini fries on your prepared baking sheet in a single layer—this helps them cook evenly.
  5. For an extra crunch, lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or drizzle a little olive oil over them.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they’re golden and crispy.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!

How to Serve Baked Zucchini Fries

Baked Zucchini Fries are great on their own, but they can also be served with a variety of dipping sauces. Try them with ranch dressing, marinara sauce, or even a spicy mayo for an extra kick. They make a wonderful side dish for burgers or sandwiches, too!

How to Store Baked Zucchini Fries

If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 5-10 minutes until they are warm and crispy again.

Tips to Make Baked Zucchini Fries

  • Make sure to slice your zucchini evenly to ensure even cooking.
  • Don’t skip the spraying of cooking spray or olive oil before baking; it helps achieve that nice crunch.
  • For a kick of flavor, experiment with different seasonings in the breadcrumb mixture.

Variation

You can add a little heat by mixing some cayenne pepper into your breadcrumb mixture. If you love cheese, try adding different types of cheese, like mozzarella or cheddar, to the panko mix for a different flavor twist.

FAQs

1. Can I use other vegetables?
Yes! You can try using eggplant, carrots, or even sweet potatoes in a similar way.

2. Can I make these gluten-free?
Absolutely! Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour and use gluten-free breadcrumbs.

3. How do I know when they are done?
Your zucchini fries should be golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them while baking to avoid burning.

Enjoy making and eating your Baked Zucchini Fries! They are sure to become a family favorite.
