Ingredients

Scale

2 medium zucchinis (about 300g)
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the zucchinis, then slice them into fry shapes, about 1/4 inch thick.
In one bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Dip each zucchini stick in the egg mixture first, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
Arrange the coated fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
