Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (you can use panko breadcrumbs for extra crispiness)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Cut the zucchinis into fry-shaped sticks, about 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches long.
- In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Dip each zucchini stick into the beaten eggs, shaking off any excess, then coat it evenly with the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to adhere the breadcrumbs.
- Place the coated zucchini sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they're not touching each other.
- Lightly spray the tops of the zucchini fries with cooking spray or drizzle them with olive oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the zucchini fries are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
