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