Baked Zucchini Fries
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini cut into 3-inch sticks
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Cooking spray
- Marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and set a wire rack on a baking sheet.
- Combine the panko, parmesan, garlic powder, oregano and salt in a shallow bowl.
- Dip each zucchini stick into the beaten egg, then press into the panko mixture until coated on all sides.
- Place the coated sticks on the wire rack, spacing them so air circulates underneath.
- Mist the tops lightly with cooking spray.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Flip each stick carefully with tongs.
- Continue baking for 8 to 10 minutes, until the coating turns deep golden brown and crisp to the touch.
- Let rest for 2 minutes; zucchini holds heat and softens further if sliced too soon.
- Serve hot with warm marinara for dipping.
Good to Know
Bread the zucchini sticks up to 4 hours ahead and keep them on the rack, uncovered, in the fridge until ready to bake.
