A few months ago, I discovered my new true love....
ZUCCHINI FRIES!
My God, why did no one ever tell me about these before? What a fantastic way of incorporating vegetables into a meal! You have a crispy and flavourful coating on tasty vegetable. They come together to produce pure deliciousness.
I found this recipe while perusing Pinterest (I died a little inside admitting that), and decided to give it a try. They've now become a regular in our weekday meal rotation.
Ingredients.
Ingredients
3 medium zucchini, sliced into skinny sticks
2 large eggs, beaten
3 heaping Tbsp. flour
1/2 cup bread crumbs (I used panko)
2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 425°. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a small bowl, beat egg with a fork until frothy. In another bowl, place flour, and in a third bowl, place your bread crumbs. Toss the breadcrumbs with garlic powder and Parmesan cheese, and set aside.
Dip the zucchini sticks into the flour, then egg, and then into the bread crumb mixture. Make sure all sides get coated well. Place the sticks on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake at 425° for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Serve warm with Ranch dressing, marinara sauce, or just as is.
Enjoy!

Finished product-- delicious!
Between prep time and baking, it'll probably take you about 30 minutes to make these. I flip the zucchini pieces halfway through the baking time so both sides turn golden delicious.
Give them a try! You won't regret it.
