Description
Crispy Zucchini Fries with Garlic Aioli are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish, featuring baked zucchini sticks coated in a crunchy panko and Parmesan crust, served with a creamy homemade garlic aioli.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium zucchinis cut into sticks (3–4 inches long)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- olive oil spray for baking or air frying
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic finely grated or minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) or prepare your air fryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Prepare three shallow dishes: Place the flour in one, the beaten eggs in the second, and mix the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in the third.
- Dip each zucchini stick first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat with the panko mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Arrange the coated zucchini fries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in the air fryer basket, spray lightly with olive oil.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or air fry for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the fries are baking, prepare the garlic aioli by mixing mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Serve the crispy zucchini fries warm with the garlic aioli for dipping.
