The Well Plated Cookbook is now available! These easy oven baked Zucchini Fries with Parmesan and Panko are just as zucchini fries air fryer as fried fries for a fraction of the calories! A healthy, kid-friendly side dish or appetizer.
I had grand plans for our zucchini supply this year, but now that we’ve tasted Baked Zucchini Fries, I’m not sure if I’ll ever want to eat zucchini any other way again. With their crispy, Parmesan- and Panko-crusted outsides and tender insides, this recipe is more than a side dish—it’s proof that a stand-alone vegetable can be legitimately delicious in its own right. One of the absolute best things about ordering any kind of vegetable fries is that it feels like cheating. I think we know what’s really going on here. In a restaurant, deep-fried vegetables of any kind, while ultra tasty, aren’t what my body habitually needs.
Move over potatoes, these crispy baked Zucchini Fries are here to steal the show! They’re simple, healthy, and coated in a delicious Panko, Parmesan mixture! Whenever I set out to lighten up a traditionally indulgent recipe like fries, first and foremost I prioritize making sure the recipe tastes fantastic. I never want choosing to eat healthy to feel like a sacrifice.
