Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis

1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko for extra crunch)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Cooking spray or olive oil (for greasing)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray or brush it with olive oil.

    Prepare the zucchinis: Wash and dry the zucchinis. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide, to resemble fries.

      Set up the dredging stations: In a shallow bowl, place the flour. In another bowl, whisk the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

        Coat the zucchini fries: Take a zucchini strip and dip it into the flour, ensuring it’s well coated. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs. Place the coated zucchini onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this step for all zucchini strips.

          Bake the fries: Once all the zucchini fries are on the baking sheet, spray them lightly with cooking spray or drizzle a little olive oil over the top for extra crispiness. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

            Serve: Remove the zucchini fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli. Enjoy the crispy goodness!
