Description
Quick and Easy Parmesan Zucchini Fries are a healthier alternative to traditional fries. Coated in a seasoned Parmesan breadcrumb mix and baked until crispy, these zucchini sticks make a perfect appetizer or side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 zucchinis, quartered lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place zucchini quarters in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
- In a separate bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Press each zucchini stick into the Parmesan mixture, coating all sides.
- Place coated zucchini fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden and crispy, about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Serve hot, optionally with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2 minutes.
- You can use panko breadcrumbs for a crunchier texture.
- Great with marinara or ranch dressing as a dip.
