Our Zucchini Fries—slender zucchini batons covered in a crisp, golden breadcrumb crust and expertly fried—offer a lighter, more environmentally friendly take on fries. Each mouthful delivers superior guilt-free enjoyment in a fresh, bright café mood that’s ideal for health-conscious snacking or sharing with friends. It starts with a delightful crunch and ends with delicate, juicy zucchini with subtle herbal undertones.

Key Ingredients

• Fresh zucchini, all-purpose flour, eggs, panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika, black pepper, sea salt, vegetable oil for frying, fresh parsley

Quick-Made Recipe

1. Wash and trim fresh zucchini, then cut into even 3-4 inch long batons about ½ inch thick; pat dry thoroughly to ensure coating adheres well.
2. Set up a breading station: season flour with salt and pepper in one bowl, beat eggs in another, and mix panko with grated parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, and black pepper in a third.
3. Dredge each zucchini stick first in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat generously in the seasoned panko mixture, pressing lightly for even coverage.
4. Heat vegetable oil to 180°C and fry in small batches for 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp; drain on paper towels and sprinkle with sea salt while hot.
5. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with garlic aioli or marinara dip.
