Ingredients
  

3 medium zucchinis

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat or panko)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Cooking spray (or olive oil for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and cut off the ends. Slice each zucchini into fry-shaped sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.

      Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, whisk the eggs. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.

        Bread the Zucchini Fries: Dip each zucchini stick first into the egg wash, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating well.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the breaded zucchini fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between each fry. Lightly spray or drizzle with cooking spray or olive oil to encourage crisping during baking.

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

              Serve: Once baked, let them cool slightly before transferring to a serving plate. These fries are fantastic on their own or paired with marinara sauce, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
