Crispy Baked Zucchini Fries

Ingredients:

• Cut two medium zucchinis into sticks, similar to fries.
• Half a cup of breadcrumbs (for added crispiness, use panko breadcrumbs)
• 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, grated
• One teaspoon of Italian spice (or dried oregano, basil, and thyme combined)
• half a teaspoon of powdered garlic
• To taste, add salt and pepper.
• two beaten eggs
• Olive oil or cooking spray

Instructions:

1. Adjust the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and place parchment paper on a baking pan.
2. Mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a shallow plate. Blend thoroughly.
3. After dipping each zucchini stick into the beaten eggs and shaking off any excess, coat each one evenly by gently pushing it into the breadcrumb mixture.
4. Make sure the coated zucchini sticks are not in contact with one another when you arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
5. Cooking spray or a light sprinkle of olive oil can be used to the zucchini fries.
6. Bake the zucchini fries in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, rotating them halfway through, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
7. When finished, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool a little before serving.
8. Savor these crunchy baked zucchini fries with your preferred dipping sauce, such ranch dressing, marinara sauce, or garlic aioli!
