1. Slice zucchini into long and thin fries, lay them out on a tray and sprinkle on salt. Let sit for 20 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, add breadcrumbs, paprika, chili powder to a bowl. In a separate bowl, add flour, and in another bowl add plant-based milk.

3. After the 20 minutes passes, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bring the slices one at a time through the flour, followed by the milk, and lastly through the bread crumbs. Repeat twice per zucchini fry until generously coated.

4. Lay out breaded fries on a non-stick baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the outside of the fries are crispy.

5. Remove them from heat, allow them to cool, and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Optional Add-ins and Variation

‘Parmesan’ zucchini fries: Add garlic powder, onion powder, and nutritional yeast to the breading. I recommend around ½tsp of each spice and 1tbsp of nutritional yeast. You can also boost the flavor further with dairy-free parmesan (just a few tablespoons). 

Italian zucchini fries: Combine onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Optionally omit the paprika and reduce the chili. 

Other spices/seasonings: There are tons of ways you can experiment when flavoring these easy zucchini fries. Dried oregano, basil, thyme, etc.

Storage Instructions

1. These zucchini fries are easy to prepare in advance. Simply slice, salt, and then bread as usual. Then lay the un-baked fries on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for several hours until you’re ready to bake. 

Alternatively, freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer the fries to a freezer-safe container/bag for up to 2 months. Bake the fries from frozen, adding 3-5 minutes to the baking time. 

Once baked, these zucchini fries are best enjoyed immediately for the very best texture. However, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. They will soften in the fridge, so make sure to reheat them in the oven/air fryer (or on the stovetop with just a drop of oil) until warm and slightly crisped up again.
