Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.5 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0 cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Trim the ends off the zucchinis and cut each one into 'fries' about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 4

In another shallow dish, whisk the two eggs and water together until well combined.

Step 5

Place the gluten-free all-purpose flour into a third shallow dish.

Step 6

Dredge each zucchini piece in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 7

Dip the floured zucchini into the egg mixture, allowing any excess egg to drip off.

Step 8

Finally, coat the zucchini in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it adheres.

Step 9

Place the coated zucchini fries onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer without overlapping.

Step 10

Lightly spray the zucchini fries with cooking spray to help them crisp up while baking.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the zucchini fries are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through the baking time.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot, with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
