Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment with olive oil.

    Prepare the zucchinis: Wash and trim the ends off the zucchinis. Cut each zucchini into fry-like sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.

      Make the coating: In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to distribute the seasoning evenly.

        Prepare the egg wash: In another bowl, whisk the two large eggs until well beaten.

          Coat the zucchini: Dip each zucchini fry first in the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure they are well coated. Place the coated fries on the prepared baking sheet.

            Bake: Bake the zucchini fries in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You can flip them halfway through for even cooking.

              Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce!
