Parmesan Zucchini Fries

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • Olive oil spray (or as needed)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will help your zucchini fries get extra crispy.
  2. Wash the zucchinis and cut them into thin strips, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.
  3. In one bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
  4. In another bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten.
  5. Dip each zucchini strip first into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.
  6. Place the coated zucchini fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through for even cooking.
  8. Once they’re done, remove them from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, and serve them with your favorite dipping sauce.

These Zucchini Fries with Parmesan are not just snacks; they are a celebration of flavor, crunch, and nutrition! Enjoy them fresh out of the oven and feel great about treating yourself to a delightful, guilt-free indulgence.
