Ingredients

• •3 medium zucchinis, sliced into fries
• •1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• •1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• •2 teaspoons garlic powder
• •1 teaspoon onion powder
• •1 teaspoon dried oregano
• •1 teaspoon dried basil
• •1 teaspoon paprika
• •1/2 teaspoon salt
• •1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• •2 large eggs, beaten
• •1 tablespoon olive oil (optional for greasing the pan)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Wash and dry the zucchinis. Slice them into fry-sized pieces, approximately 1/4-inch thick.

3. 3

   In a shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

4. 4

   In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs.

5. 5

   Dip each zucchini fry into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off.

6. 6

   Roll the zucchini fry in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

7. 7

   Place the coated zucchini fries onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
