Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Wash the zucchinis thoroughly.
- Cut off both ends of each zucchini.
- Slice the zucchinis into strips that are about 1/2 inch thick.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well to ensure the cheese is evenly distributed.
- In another shallow bowl, lightly beat the egg.
- Dip each zucchini strip into the beaten egg, making sure to coat all sides.
- Next, dredge the egg-coated zucchini strip in the bread crumb and Parmesan mixture. Press gently to adhere the crumbs to the zucchini. Repeat with the remaining zucchini strips.
- Arrange the breaded zucchini strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not touching to allow even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the zucchini strips are golden brown and crispy. You can flip them halfway through baking to ensure both sides are evenly browned.
- Remove the zucchini strips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
- Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy them warm.
Tips:
- Choose firm, fresh zucchinis for the best texture and flavor.
- Make sure to coat the zucchini strips evenly with the egg mixture and bread crumb mixture to ensure crispiness.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- For an extra crunch, try adding panko breadcrumbs to the mixture.
- Serve the zucchini strips with a marinara sauce or a garlic aioli for added flavor.
