Easy Oven-Baked Zucchini Fries
These crispy baked zucchini fries are kid-friendly and packed with flavor—served with a creamy homemade Greek yogurt ranch dip for the perfect veggie-loaded snack!
Equipment
- 2 small mixing bowls
- knife
Ingredients
- 2 medium-large zucchinis cut into fry-shaped sticks
- 2 eggs beaten *1 egg will work if the zucchinis are smaller
- ½ cup breadcrumbs or almond flour
- ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt optional
- olive oil spray optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven – Set to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prep zucchini – Slice zucchinis into fry-like strips and pat dry with a paper towel. Feel free to leave skin on or off depending how you prefer (if you're working on exposure with your picky eater, try taking skin off first).
- Set up breading stations – In one bowl, place the beaten eggs. In another, mix breadcrumbs/almond flour, parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.
- Coat the zucchini – Dip each zucchini stick in egg wash, then press into the dry mixture to coat evenly.
- Arrange & bake – Place fries on the baking sheet in a single layer. Spray lightly with olive oil if desired. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Notes
- Serve with greek yogurt ranch, ketchup, warmed marinara sauce or pizza sauce, or other desired dip!
- If wanting to make yogurt ranch, here's what you need: ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt if needed), 1–2 tablespoon milk (to thin, as needed), ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon dried dill, ½ teaspoon dried parsley, ½ teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar, salt & pepper to taste
