Ingredients
Scale
2 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch thick sticks
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Garlic Aioli:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Dip each zucchini stick into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Dredge the egg-coated zucchini stick in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
Place the coated zucchini fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
While the fries are baking, prepare the garlic aioli. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Serve the hot zucchini fries immediately with the garlic aioli for dipping.
Notes
For extra crispiness, you can bake the fries for a few extra minutes.
Feel free to add other seasonings to the breadcrumb mixture, such as paprika or onion powder.
The garlic aioli can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
