  • Dip each zucchini strip in the egg wash, then place in flour mixture.
  • Place zucchini strips back in the egg mixture, then roll in the panko mixture.
  • Transfer the coated zucchini pieces in a single layer to the lined baking sheet.
  • Spray each coated fry liberally with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the prepared baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the breaded zucchini for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.

Notes

  • When slicing the zucchini sticks, the larger the slices, the soggier they tend to be. For crispier fries, you’ll want to cut the fries into smaller even pieces.
  • Don’t preseason sliced zucchini in advance because it will draw out the moisture which can also make the fries soggy.
