Crispy Parmesan Garlic Zucchini Fries 😋
Zucchini just got a major upgrade — and you’re going to be hooked from the very first bite! Whether you’re looking to cut back on carbs, sneak in more veggies, or simply try something deliciously different, these Crispy Parmesan Garlic Zucchini Fries are your new favorite side or snack.
Golden, crunchy, and packed with flavor, these zucchini fries are oven-baked (or air-fried!) to crispy perfection. The magic happens when tender zucchini is coated in a garlicky Parmesan and panko mixture that delivers the perfect crunch every single time. Best part? They’re incredibly easy to make and go with just about anything — burgers, sandwiches, salads, or just dipped in your favorite sauce.
🥒 Ingredients:
2 medium zucchinis, cut into fry shapes
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs (for that ultra-crispy texture)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Olive oil spray, for that golden finish
👩🍳 How to Make Them (Full Recipe in First Comment👇):
Prep the Zucchini: Wash and slice your zucchinis into fry-shaped sticks — not too thin, not too thick. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Set up your coating stations:
Bowl 1: Flour, lightly seasoned with salt and pepper.
Bowl 2: Beaten eggs.
Bowl 3: Panko + Parmesan + garlic powder + paprika.
Coat the Fries: Dip each zucchini piece in the flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mixture. Make sure they’re well-coated for maximum crispiness.
Bake or Air-Fry:
Oven: Preheat to 425°F (220°C). Place fries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spray with olive oil and bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Air fryer: 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, shaking halfway.
Serve Hot: These are best fresh out of the oven with your favorite dipping sauce — think marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli. 🔥
