Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Baked Zucchini Fries.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a crisp 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or aluminum foil, giving it a light spritz of cooking spray for easy cleanup.
Step 3
Take your peeled zucchini and slice it in half lengthwise, then scoop out the seeds.
Step 4
Cut the zucchini into strips, aiming for dimensions of about 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch and 4 inches long.
Step 5
In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and seasoned salt for a flavorful coating.
Step 6
Dip each zucchini strip into melted butter, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated, then roll it in the bread crumb mixture, shaking off any excess.
Step 7
Lay the breaded zucchini fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they have room to crisp up without touching.
Step 8
Slide the baking sheet into the oven and let them bake for around 15 minutes, or until they turn a delightful golden brown and become tender.
Step 9
Serve these crispy zucchini fries warm, and savor every bite of this deliciously healthy treat!.
