How to make Baked Parmesan Zucchini Fries
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 425 degrees.
Step 2: Using oil or cooking spray, grease a baking sheet. If desired, line the baking sheet with aluminium foil for easy cleanup, but note that the fries could turn out slightly crispy. Make sure not to use silicone baking mats or parchment to prevent the fries will be soggy.
Step 3: In a shallow dish or large Ziplock bag, place the flour mix ingredients, and mix well.
Step 4: In a different shallow bowl, beat the egg well.
Step 5: In a third shallow dish, combine the Parmesan breadcrumbs ingredients.
Step 6: Dredge the zucchini fries first in the flour mix, then coat with beaten egg and generously coat with the breadcrumb mix.
Step 7: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until crisp, turning the zucchini once. Using an offset spatula, loosen the zucchini if it sticks to the pan.
Step 8: Remove from the oven when done and serve the baked Parmesan zucchini fries right away with your preferred dips. Enjoy!
