Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchinis and slice them into thin sticks, about 3-4 inches long and 1/4 inch wide. Pat them dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture; this helps them crisp up better.

      Set Up Breading Stations: In a shallow dish, place the flour and season it with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a second dish, whisk the eggs until well combined. In a third dish, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and a bit more salt and pepper until thoroughly combined.

        Coat the Zucchini: Dip each zucchini stick first into the flour, coating it evenly, then into the egg wash, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the crumbs stick well.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated zucchini fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving some space between each piece to allow for even cooking. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or olive oil spray to help achieve that golden crisp.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.

              Serve: Once baked, remove the zucchini fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or a spicy aioli.
