Bake these Crispy Parmesan Zucchini Fries for a light, satisfying crunch that beats regular fries. You get great flavor without the guilt. Elias and Hannah from Flavor Vista share this simple recipe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
  2. Wash the zucchini and trim the ends. Cut each zucchini lengthwise into sticks about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In the second bowl, place the beaten egg. In the third bowl, place the grated Parmesan cheese.
  4. Take a zucchini stick and lightly dredge it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  5. Dip the floured stick into the egg, letting any extra drip off.
  6. Coat the stick thoroughly in the Parmesan cheese, pressing gently so the cheese adheres well.
  7. Place the coated zucchini fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not let them touch.
  8. Lightly mist the tops of the fries with cooking spray for extra crispness.
  9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy your guilt-free snack.

Notes

  • For the best texture, pat the zucchini sticks dry with a paper towel before you start coating them.
  • You can serve these with your favorite dipping sauce, like marinara or ranch.
  • If you want an extra-spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mix.
