Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Baked Zucchini Fries
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and trim the zucchini, then cut them into sticks about 0.5 inches thick.
  3. Prepare three shallow dishes: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Dip each zucchini stick into the flour, shake off excess, then dip into the egg wash, and finally roll in the panko mixture.
  5. Arrange the coated zucchini fries in a single layer on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
  6. Bake for about 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
  7. Once crispy and golden, remove from the oven and enjoy hot with your favorite dips.
