Here’s a tasty way to make crispy zucchini sticks 🥒✨—perfect as a snack or side!
Crispy Zucchini Sticks
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko works best for extra crunch)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Cooking spray or oil for baking/frying
Instructions
Oven-Baked Version (Healthier)
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash zucchini and cut into sticks (like fries).
- Set up a dredging station:
- Bowl 1: Flour
- Bowl 2: Beaten eggs
- Bowl 3: Breadcrumbs + Parmesan + garlic powder + salt + pepper
- Dip each zucchini stick: flour → egg → breadcrumb mixture.
- Place on baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking oil.
- Bake 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Fried Version (Extra Crispy)
- Heat ½ inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Fry zucchini sticks in batches 2–3 minutes per side, until golden.
- Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- Marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping
- Sprinkle extra Parmesan or fresh herbs (parsley or basil) on top
If you want, I can also give a super easy air fryer version that’s crispy without much oil.
