Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with oil or cooking spray.
Tip: You can use aluminum foil for easier cleanup, but the fries might not get as crispy. Don’t use parchment paper or silicone mats—they make the fries soggy.
In one shallow dish or a zip-top bag, mix the flour, garlic powder, and salt.
In a second dish, beat the egg.
In a third dish (like a small baking pan), mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
First, dip the zucchini sticks in the flour mix so they’re lightly covered.
Next, dip them in the egg.
Finally, roll them in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so the coating sticks well.
Place the coated zucchini on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes, flipping them once halfway through, until they’re golden and crispy.
If any fries stick to the pan, gently lift them with a spatula instead of pulling hard.
Tip: If you used enough oil or spray, they shouldn’t stick.
Eat the fries right away while they’re hot and crispy. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce!
