Hey Everybody!

Today’s recipe is one for delectable baked zucchini fries. I unfortunately consider myself to be pretty picky so finding a way to get my vegetables in can be really hard. I have been working hard to find recipes that I love so that I eat all the servings I should be without gagging them down.

I found this recipe on Pinterest, which is my favorite place to find new ideas.

This recipe comes from budgetbytes.com:

Ingredients

1 lb. Zucchini Squash

1/4 cup All Purpose Flour

1/8 tsp. Salt

1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs

¼ cup Parmesan Cheese (Fresh or Grated)

1 Tbsp. Italian Seasoning Blend (I used Olive Garden actual dressing)

1 Large Egg

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Rinse and dry the zucchini. Cut the ends off and then cut each one into strips, approximately 1/3 inch thick.
3. Place the zucchini strips in a large zip lock bag and add the flour and salt. Shake the bag to coat the zucchini in flour. In a wide, shallow bowl combine the panko bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine. In a second, wide, shallow bowl, whisk a raw egg with about 1 Tbsp of water until fairly smooth.
4. Cover a baking sheet with foil and then place two wire cooling racks over top. One by one, take the flour coated zucchini strips and dip them in the egg and then the seasoned bread crumb mixture. Place the breaded zucchini on the wire cooling racks. The wire racks keep the zucchini up off of the baking sheet and allows hot air to circulate underneath, which will prevent soggy bottoms. Also make sure there is a small amount of space between each strip to allow circulation.
5. Once all of the zucchini strips are breaded, bake them for approximately 15 minutes or until they are a medium golden brown color. Cooking time will vary with the thickness of your zucchini strips, so keep a close eye. I personally cooked mine for 25 minutes as I like mine pretty crispy.
