Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchini, sliced into fry shapes

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat or panko for extra crunch)

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Marinara sauce (for dipping, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchini and cut off the ends. Slice them into long, thin strips resembling fries, about ¼ inch thick.

      Make the Breading Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

        Prepare the Egg Wash: In another bowl, beat the eggs with the olive oil until combined. This will be your egg wash to help the breadcrumbs stick to the zucchini.

          Coat the Zucchini: Dip each zucchini fry into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, roll each fry in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the mixture to the zucchini.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated zucchini fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded for even baking.

              Bake in the Oven: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through baking to ensure even crispness.

                Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
