Crispy Baked Parmesan Zucchini Fries

Healthy Fact of the Day

Zucchini is a nutrient-dense vegetable that is low in calories and high in vitamins A and C, as well as fiber. By baking these fries instead of frying, you get a crispy and flavorful snack or appetizer with significantly less fat and calories.

Ingredients

 

  • 3 medium zucchinis, cut into 1/4-inch thick fries or strips
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Non-stick cooking spray

 

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

  2. In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  3. In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs.

  4. Dip the zucchini fries into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off.

  5. Transfer the egg-coated zucchini fries to the breadcrumb mixture, tossing gently to coat them evenly on all sides.

  6. Arrange the breaded zucchini fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with non-stick cooking spray.

  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

  8. Remove the baked zucchini fries from the oven and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch.

Enjoy these crispy baked Parmesan zucchini fries as a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional French fries!

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Today Is a Double-Deal Day at Shake Shack — Two Free Items, Two Codes

If you’re taking advantage of both Shake Shack deals today, consider splitting one of the burgers with someone rather than eating both back-to-back. Shake Shack’s menu also includes a lettuce wrap option for any burger, which cuts the refined carbs significantly without sacrificing the protein. Pairing either sandwich with water instead of a shake keeps the overall meal lighter — and saves room for a small frozen custard if you want to treat yourself on the dessert end instead.
