Crispy Baked Zucchini Fries

Crispy Baked Zucchini Fries

I love crunchy food but hate the idea of frying them, so if I can bake them, I am all in. These baked zucchini fries were crispy and golden brown.

Grab two shallow bowls or plates and put flour on one and Panko bread crumbs with the seasonings on the other one. Then in a pie pan or shallow bowl add the beaten eggs. 

This will be the breading station. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and then in half crosswise. Cut each piece into 1/4 in slices. 

Dip in flour and then into egg and finally into the Panko bread crumb mixture. Place on a grease rack in a foil lined rimmed baking pan. Drizzle with oil and bake @ 425 for 20 -25 minutes. Then enjoy!

I served mine with a homemade horseradish sauce. Hubby loved them and so did I.

  2. These look delicious! I'm like you, I like vegetables crispy but besides the added fat, I don't even like frying. It's so messy. Pinning so I can give this a try.

    1. Lisa,
      Thank you. I like the fact that you bake these, rather than standing there frying batches of them. You won't miss the oil.
      Have a great week ahead.
