    Directions for how to make Baked Zucchini Fries

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

    In small bowl, combine the flour and seasonings.  Give it a quick mix with a fork and set aside.

    In another bowl, beat the egg with salt.  Set that aside.

    In a 3rd small bowl, mix the Panko with the Parmesan cheese. Now, line all 3 bowls up side by side.

    Like a quick assembly line, dip the zucchini fries into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture and finally the Panko mixture.

      These zucchini fries look amazing! I've tried to bread zucchini before and mine never look like this. Your are so pretty!

      May 13, 2014 at 2:11 pm

      These are actually a weakness for me. I like them best with Ranch on the side!

    9. Chelsea says

      May 13, 2014 at 2:26 pm

      Oh my gosh. These look and sound SO good. I've never tried zucchini fries but these are definitely on my to do list now!

    10. Debra says

      May 13, 2014 at 4:40 pm

      Those look so yummy! I love zucchini, but aside from sauteing it I'm never sure how to make it!

    11. Carly Bellard says

      May 13, 2014 at 4:50 pm

      May 13, 2014 at 5:42 pm

      How have I never heard of Panko? I had to bing it, lol. We definitely need to try it soon! (I'm clearly not a great cook!) 🙂

    14. Shell says

      May 13, 2014 at 5:51 pm

    16. Karen says

      May 13, 2014 at 7:14 pm

      These look delicious! I love using Panko crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs. Makes everything so much crispier.

    17. Kathy says

      May 13, 2014 at 7:16 pm

      May 13, 2014 at 9:45 pm

      I do quite enjoy zucchini on it's own and have been meaning to get a little creative with it in the kitchen. Like you said there are only so many times a salad will suffice and eating the same thing the same way over and over again gets boring. I'll definitely have to add this to my must-try list 🙂

      Thanks for the great recipe!

    20. Janell Poulette says

      May 13, 2014 at 10:44 pm

    23. Christie says

      May 14, 2014 at 8:25 am

      Yes, those look just perfect! Crunchy and you get your veggies 🙂

    24. Melinda says

      May 14, 2014 at 8:27 am

      i think my kids would eat these. I'd tell them they were something else first, the work zucchini would turn them off

    25. Amanda says

      May 14, 2014 at 9:07 am

      I love these and that they are a healthier snack/appetizer! I will be making them for sure!

    26. Liz Mays says

      May 14, 2014 at 11:51 am

      Oh my goodness, this looks so delicious! I've not done much with zucchini but I've been missing out.

    27. Dina says

      May 14, 2014 at 12:00 pm

      We eat so much zucchini during the summer that i must make these. I bet they'd love them.

    28. Krystal says

      May 14, 2014 at 12:27 pm

      These look really good and I'm not a zucchini fan! I can think of a few sauces I'd like to dip them in.

    29. StacieinAtlanta says

      May 14, 2014 at 1:09 pm

      Well zucchini is my favorite veggie and Italian food is the familys favorite cuisine. I'm betting these would be a big hit in my house.

    30. Rosey says

      May 14, 2014 at 1:59 pm

      May 15, 2014 at 9:59 am

      I do love zucchini! I have never had it in a fry form though. I am going to have to makes these soon. They look and sound so delicious!

    34. Amanda says

      May 15, 2014 at 9:21 pm

      These look so yummy! I always order this when we are eating out but I've never tried to make them on my own. So glad you posted this recipe

    35. Camesha says

      May 16, 2014 at 1:27 am

      May 27, 2014 at 2:48 pm

      You don't give a measurement for the parmasan cheese in with the bread crumbs.

    39. Patricia says

      May 27, 2014 at 2:56 pm

      You give no measurements for the parmasan cheese with the bread crumbs???
