Method

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Wash and dry the zucchinis thoroughly, then cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3: Set up the breading station with flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
Step 4: Bread the zucchini by dipping each strip into flour, then eggs, and finally the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 5: Arrange the breaded zucchini fries on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.
Step 6: Lightly spray or drizzle olive oil over the zucchini fries.
Step 7: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
