Baked Zucchini Fries
Baked Zucchini Fries offer a crispy, golden alternative to traditional fries using zucchini coated with a Parmesan and panko breadcrumb mixture. The fries bake until crisp on the outside while remaining tender inside. Served with a tangy aioli made from Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic, they provide a flavorful snack or side dish with an herby and cheesy crust.

- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano grated
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
Aioli Dipping Sauce
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt

- black pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and salt.
- Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise and then slice each half into two 2 pieces widthwise. Slice each zucchini piece into 4-6 fries, trying to keep them all around the same size. Pat your zucchini slices dry with a paper towel.
- Dip a zucchini piece into the egg wash and shake any excess off before dredging into the breadcrumb parmesan mixture.
- Place coated zucchini fry onto prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining zucchini pieces.
- Place zucchini in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Flip and return to the oven. Bake for another 10 minutes, or until zucchini fries are crisp and golden brown. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
- While zucchini fries are baking, make the aioli, if desired by whisking together all the ingredients in a small bowl.
