Baked Parmesan Zucchini Fries

Ingredients

Garlic powder

1 teaspoon

Pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Bread crumbs

1 cup

Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup, grated

Zucchini

2 medium-sized

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the fries from sticking.
2. Cut the zucchini lengthwise into about 1/2-inch thick fries. Set them aside.
3. In a shallow dish, thoroughly combine the grated Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to create your coating mixture.
4. Drizzle the zucchini fries with olive oil, ensuring they are all lightly coated.
5. Toss the oiled zucchini fries in the Parmesan mixture, making sure each fry is fully coated. Shake off any excess.
6. Arrange the coated zucchini fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the fries turn golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.
8. Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy these zucchini fries as is or with your favorite dipping sauce.
