Parmesan zucchini fries

Parmesan zucchini fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fries. These crispy, flavorful fries are easy to make and packed with nutrients. They are perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Follow this simple recipe to create a tasty treat that everyone will enjoy.

Ingredients:

2 zucchini
390g
2 tsp olive oil
9g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Zucchini:
- Wash the zucchini thoroughly under running water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Trim off the ends of the zucchini. Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise, then slice each half into four even sticks, creating a total of 8 fries for each zucchini. You should have about 16 zucchini fries.
3. Season the Zucchini:
- Place the zucchini sticks in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the zucchini fries. Toss gently to ensure that each fry is evenly coated with the oil.
- Sprinkle the salt over the zucchini and toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
4. Coat with Parmesan:
- Spread the grated Parmesan cheese out on a large plate or shallow dish.
- Roll each zucchini stick in the Parmesan cheese, pressing lightly to ensure the cheese adheres to the surface. Make sure each stick is well-coated with cheese before placing it on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake the Zucchini Fries:
- Arrange the coated zucchini sticks in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring there is enough space between each fry for even baking.
- 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 them halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning.
6. Serve:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the zucchini fries cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the Parmesan zucchini fries warm, either on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips:

- Make sure to cut the zucchini into evenly sized pieces for uniform cooking.

- Pat the zucchini sticks dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, ensuring they become crispy.

- For added flavor, experiment by adding spices such as garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning to the parmesan cheese mixture.

- Preheat the oven thoroughly to ensure the fries cook evenly and become crispy.

- Consider lining the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

Parmesan zucchini fries are not only easy to prepare but also a nutritious and tasty alternative to potato fries. With a crispy exterior and a tender interior, these fries are sure to become a favorite. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven and enhance your meals with this healthy twist on a classic snack.
