Your new favorite way to eat zucchini! These Baked Parmesan Zucchini Fries are loaded with flavor and baked to golden perfection! The perfect way to use up your summer bounty!
So excited to be sharing this amazing recipe for Baked Parmesan Zucchini Fries with you today! The heat is on! I am not a huge fan of the heat here in Sacramento, never have been. On days when the temp exceeds 100, you can find me blasting the AC and sitting under a ceiling fan trying keep cool. Fortunately, we almost always get a nice breeze as evening sets in and it helps to cool down the house.
What I do love about the heat however is the way it makes my garden grow. I can literally see several inches of growth each day on our tomato and zucchini plants – they really do seem to love the heat! The zucchini does get a nice amount of afternoon shade which I think helps as well.
Every summer, I usually end up with way more tomatoes and zucchini that I can handle…and my neighbors love it. While I can’t hand you a basket full of veggies, I’m excited to share this recipe with you today. We have been enjoying our zucchini in every way imaginable but these Baked Parmesan Zucchini Fries are really something special.
I breaded the zucchini with a mixture of Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and some seasonings. I deviated from the traditional F-E-B (flour-egg-breading) process skipping the flour because I wanted the fries to be lighter. You are more than welcome to coat the zucchini strips in flour before dipping into the egg wash though. It will give you a thicker coating.
