Ingredients
- Cooking spray For greasing the cooling rack and baking sheet
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour For coating the zucchini
- 2 zucchinis cut into fries about 3 inches long (Zucchini fries)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs For coating the fries
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese For a crispy savory coating
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning For added flavor
- ½ teaspoon paprika For a mild kick
- ¼ teaspoon salt For seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper For seasoning
- 2 large eggs For the egg wash helps the breadcrumbs stick
For the dip:
- ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt For the base of the dip
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar For tang
- ½ teaspoon onion powder For seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder For seasoning
- ½ teaspoon dried chives For flavor
- ¼ teaspoon dried dill For flavor
- ¼ teaspoon dried parsley For flavor
- ¼ teaspoon salt For seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Place the flour in a large mixing bowl. Add the zucchini fries and toss until evenly coated with the flour.
- In a small bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- In a second small bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
- Working in batches, dip each zucchini fry first into the egg wash, then roll it in the panko mixture, pressing lightly to ensure even coating.
- Lay the coated zucchini fries in a single layer on the prepared cooling rack, ensuring there is space between each fry.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
- While the fries are baking, prepare the dipping sauce by whisking together Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, chives, dill, parsley, and salt in a small bowl.
- Serve the hot zucchini fries with the creamy yogurt dip.
Notes
These baked zucchini fries are a healthier alternative to traditional fries. Serve them as a fun snack or side dish with a creamy yogurt dip for extra flavor.
