Lately, every night is zucchini night at our house. And I'll admit it Mom, I don't hate it. Zucchini quiche, quesadillas, pizza, bread, burritos, pasta; you name it, we've had it! But these were our favorite! Baked zucchini fries with Parmesan. So good!
Ingredients:
1 large zucchini
1/2 cup flour
2 tsp salt, divided
3/4 tsp black pepper, divided
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
1/2 grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Cut off the ends of the zucchini and then cut it in half lengthwise. Scrape out the soft, seedy portion of the zucchini, then cut into thick french fries.
In three shallow bowls or deeper plates, make three different mixtures:
- Flour, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper
- Eggs, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper
- Bread crumbs, Parmesan, 1/2 tsp salt
Working in batches, using one hand for dry ingredients and one for wet ingredients, coat fries in flour, shaking off excess. Dip thoroughly in egg mixture, allowing excess to run off. Last, coat in the bread crumb mixture.
Arrange zucchini in a single layer on the pan, without crowding. Bake 15 minutes and then flip fries over to the other side. Bake until bread crumbs are golden and crisp, another 7-10 minutes.
This recipe came from my friend, Mandy, over at Baking with Blondie. (You should go check out her blog, it's amazing)! She recommends eating these with warm marinara or pizza sauce. Jenny used cocktail sauce with hers, and Ellie and I used homemade ketchup.
Bon appetit from the Tessem girls!
