Ingredients
Zucchini Fries
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 egg
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Lemon Parsley Aioli
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep zucchini. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper. Slice the zucchini in half, then half again, then into quarters. You should have 16 slices per zucchini.
- Prep the breading. Crack the egg in a small bowl or container and lightly beat it. Add the parmesan and spices to a separate bowl or container and stir to combine.
- Dip the zucchini. Dip a slice of zucchini in the egg wash and transfer to the parmesan. Use your other hand to coat the zucchini in the cheese and transfer to the baking tray. Repeat this process until all zucchini are coated.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through on the cut side. Serve immediately with the lemon parsley aioli.

Notes
- Storage tips: Let the fries cool completely, then store them in an airtight container lined with a paper towel to absorb moisture. They’ll keep for 2 to 3 days in the fridge. Just note they’ll soften over time due to zucchini’s high water content.
- Reheating tip: For the crispiest results, reheat them in a 400°F (200°C) oven or air fryer for about 5 to 7 minutes, flipping halfway through. Avoid the microwave as it’ll make them soggy.
