Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and trim the ends of the zucchini. Cut each zucchini into 1/2-inch thick sticks, resembling fries.
- In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each zucchini stick into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Roll the egg-coated zucchini sticks in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help the coating adhere.
- Place the coated zucchini fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the zucchini fries.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can bake for a few extra minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce like marinara or aioli.
- Ensure the zucchini sticks are not overcrowded on the baking sheet for even cooking.
