Parmesan zucchini fries

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.

Ingredients:

5 zucchini
980g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
50g
1/4 cup bread crumbs
30g
1 tsp garlic powder
3.10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Zucchini:
- 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.
3. Season the Zucchini:
- 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.
4. Prepare the Parmesan Coating:
- In a separate shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and garlic powder. Stir the mixture until everything is evenly distributed.
5. Coat the Zucchini:
- 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.
6. Bake the Zucchini Fries:
- 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.
7. Serve:
- 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.

Parmesan zucchini fries are a tasty and nutritious snack or side dish that can be enjoyed by everyone. With their crispy texture and savory flavor, they are sure to be a hit. Follow these tips and you'll have perfectly cooked, delicious zucchini fries every time. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
