Made these yesterday and they were the crispiest zucchini fries i’ve ever made! Thank you for this recipe and tips! I’m still going back to my Ranch Dressing for dip but love that I didn’t have to have a grease-fest to get crispy zucchini fries! Still wanted a little more punch of flavor. Going to try adding garlic powder, smoked paprika, and maybe even Italian Seasonings next time. So happy to have found your website this week, Erin! I’ll be back!
Great recipe on the fries. I agree with another reviewer on sticking with ranch dressing, or tatziki sauce. This dip didn’t rock our world, disappointed.
Made these once again and once again they were absolutely delicious. Great recipe. I just added a tsp of Ranch to soften the taste. But that’s to our taste. Thanks. Love your site.
I am not a huge zucchini person.
The recipe was pretty good and lived up to crispy. I may need more practice with my coating skills. Great tip to season the veggie before hand. Thank you!
Was hesitant because in the past my zucchini fries always come out limp and soggy but these were phenomenal! Do not skip any steps and you will be a happy camper with some delicious crispy zucchini fries!
it came out good family liked it except for one. Just make sure u spray with oil, I forgot with the first batch. It makes a big difference in taste. Also I added some spices like smoked paprika and garlic. This is not a quick side dish so give yourself time to do this dish.
Love love love this recipe. The breading stayed on and the Basil Dip was perfect! I’m gonna use it on sandwiches and other things. This was my side for a bacon cheeseburger.
These were wonderful! I’ve never had much luck with breading anything. The instructions were perfect. My new oven has an air fry mode, so I thought I’d try it. They turned out great! I lowered the temp to 400 degrees, didn’t cook quite as long, and skipped the 2nd dose of cooking spray. Definitely a keeper! Thank you, Erin.
This has been my go-to zucchini recipe since last summer! I take things one step further by putting the sticks in a collander and mix them with some salt before coating. I let them sit for a half hour so that more moisture is released, then rinse and pat dry. I also flash freeze them and pack into vacuum bags, and later reheat at 400 for 10-15 minutes. They do turn out slightly soggy, but the taste of summer in the middle of January during a blizzard just can’t be beat! Thank you!
We didn’t care for these at all. There is no need for the flour. It overtook the taste which is quite obvious as there is more flour than breadcrumbs. I’ve made zucchini fries with panko and grated parm which were much better.
I’m sorry to hear you had problems with the recipe, Mary Ann. The amounts, flavorings and timing have worked well for myself (and others) so I wished it would have been a hit for you too! I know it can be so disappointing to try a new recipe and it does not turn out for you.
Ohhhhhhhhh my goooooodnesssssss! Erin, you are a culinary genius! You’re my hero! These zucchini fries are absolutely amazing! Got a thumbs up from my hubby, and he went for seconds.
Your recipe is perfect, but I had to do a couple substitutions. Didn’t have onion powder, so I smooshed some minced onion with mortar and pestle. Also, didn’t have yogurt, so I substituted ranch dressing, and added the other ingredients (fresh basil muddled with M&P also), and no salt or pepper added as the ranch was plenty salty. Success! I had some zucchini strips that didn’t fit on the pan, and some eggwhites and panko, so I laid the zucchini in the bottom of a glass pie plate, piled the crumbs over all, added extra parmesan and drizzled EVOO, placed in oven for 20 minutes, yummy! I’m so glad I found your site!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💖😋😋😋💖
These were a big hit! My husband and I devoured these! He initially took a small plate to try them out but loved them so much and went back for seconds. They were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. For next time, i will see if i can get the panko mixture to coat the zuchinnis more evenly. Thank you!!
The were pretty good. I think I will try to turn the zucchini over next because they were browned on the bottom but not much on the top. I used quite a bit of spray oil. They were also limp even though they were spaced out on the pan, which I wasn’t expecting, but it didn’t hurt the taste. I plan on using more panko and less flour next time. I used chipotle ranch dressing for the dip which added some zing.
Delicious! Loved the crispiness of these being baked. I used avocado spray to keep them extra healthy and doubled the spices. The sauce was amazing and packed with protein and probiotics with the Greek yogurt made it that much better! Added garlic powder to the sauce for more flavor. Yum!
