Parmesan zucchini fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fries. They are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. This recipe is simple to make and a great way to get more vegetables into your diet.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Wash the zucchini thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.
- Cut off the ends of each zucchini. Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise, then slice each half into sticks, approximately the size of traditional French fries.
- Place the zucchini sticks in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the zucchini and sprinkle with the salt. Toss the zucchini sticks gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and salt.
- In a separate shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and garlic powder. Stir the mixture until everything is evenly distributed.
- Individually dip each zucchini stick into the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres to all sides of the zucchini.
- Place the coated zucchini sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure that they are not touching one another for even cooking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini fries are golden brown and crispy. You may want to flip the fries halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the zucchini fries cool for a few minutes.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or a garlic aioli.
Tips:
- Make sure to cut the zucchini into uniform sticks to ensure even cooking.
- Pat the zucchini sticks dry with a paper towel before coating them to help the breading adhere better.
- For extra crispiness, you can double-dip the zucchini sticks in the bread crumb mixture.
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
