Fresh zucchini fries are coated in a Panko parmesan batter and baked until they are crispy, crunchy, and ready for dipping! These will disappear off the platter before you have a chance to try them, so be sure to sneak a few before serving!
Baked Zucchini Fries
I love to serve french fries as a side dish, but I can make an entire meal out of these baked parmesan zucchini fries!
Quick & easy! Baked zucchini fries come together fast, with very little prep, and can even be air-fried! Baked not fried, but with a deep-fried crispy coating, zucchini fries are a guilt-free snack or side dish! Squash varieties are a healthy alternative to starchy, high-carbohydrate veggies like potatoes or carrots. They have zero fat, and this recipe has a keto version, too!
Ingredients and Variations
Zucchini – Zucchini has a firm texture and mild flavor, making it the perfect texture for fries, and no need to peel! Breadcrumbs – Seasoned or homemade breadcrumbs work in this recipe, but Panko breadcrumbs will provide the best crunch. Make keto zucchini fries by switching out the Panko for low carb or keto breadcrumbs, or crushed pork rinds and almond flour. Seasonings – Zest up zucchini fries by stirring in some homemade taco seasoning, Italian seasoning, or a fun everything bagel blend. Variations – Sweet potatoes, asparagus, green beans, and even jicama can be breaded and baked into healthy fries! Or make the oven pull double-duty and bake chicken nuggets next to the zucchini fries.
