CRISPY BAKED ZUCCHINI FRIES RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

• 3 medium zucchini
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• Cooking spray

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Trim the ends off the zucchini then cut them in half widthwise. Cut each half into roughly 1/2-inch-thick fries.
3. In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour and garlic powder with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
4. In a separate shallow dish, whisk together the eggs. Add the breadcrumbs to a third shallow dish.
5. Dredge the zucchini fries in the flour, shake off any excess, then dip them in the eggs and then into the breadcrumbs, coating them on all sides. Arrange the zucchini fries in a single layer on the baking sheet.
6. Spray the zucchini fries with cooking spray (optional) and bake them for 18 to 20 minutes, turning them once halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove the zucchini fries from the oven and serve them with ketchup, marinara or Ranch dressing for dipping.
