Crispy Baked Zucchini Fries

Have you ever tried to make breaded zucchini only to have them turn out kind of mushy? That’s not going to happen with these, my friend!

The secret is to get your oven good and hot, then flip the zucchini sticks halfway through. This will ensure that they get nice and crispy.

Can I Use Summer or Yellow Squash?

Yes! No changes needed, you’ll make them the exact same way – and if you have both zucchini and yellow, use them!

Should I Peel the Zucchini Before Slicing?

You don’t need to peel them; the skin is very delicate and adds the perfect texture for zucchini fries.

How to Make The Best Baked Zucchini Fries

The first thing you’ll do is give them a quick wash. Then snip the ends off. Cut the zucchini in half, then slice each half into strips like the above picture.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum and parchment paper.

Prep the zucchini in the egg wash and bread crumbs.

Bake them in your hot oven (425), flip them halfway through, then bake until golden and crispy.
