Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Baked Zucchini Fries.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab two baking sheets and line them with parchment paper, giving them a light spritz of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the spiralized zucchini with cornstarch, making sure each piece is evenly coated for that perfect crunch.
Step 4
Next, set up a little assembly line: in one shallow dish, pour in the beaten eggs, and in another, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, seasoning salt, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder for a flavorful coating.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to get your hands a little messy! Working in batches, dip each zucchini piece into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off before rolling it in the breadcrumb blend.
Step 6
This step is key to achieving that delightful crispy texture.
Step 7
Once all your zucchini fries are coated, lay them out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 8
For an extra touch of crispiness, give the tops a light spray of cooking spray.
Step 9
Pop those sheets into your preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the fries turn a beautiful golden brown and are irresistibly crispy.
Step 10
When they’re done, serve them hot and enjoy every delicious bite! These zucchini fries are not just a treat; they’re a fun way to sneak in some veggies while satisfying your cravings.
