Clock icon 30 minutes

Homemade Zucchini Fries are a healthy, delicious alternative to regular fries, and they’re so easy to make! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they’re the perfect side dish for any meal… and especially delicious dipped in our easy Garlic Aioli!

We’re always on the lookout for new ways to eat veggies, and these Zucchini Fries are a total win.

Not only are they a way healthier alternative regular french fries, but they’re seriously SO delicious. As in… I’d choose them over regular fries any day!

The zucchini is perfectly cooked (not mushy like some recipes) and the breading is light, crispy, and flavorful. They’re super tasty all on their own OR you can dip them in marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or our favorite: garlic aioli.

Best of all, they’re incredibly easy to make! Just grab some zucchini, seasoned bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and eggs… and you’ll be enjoying these delicious veggie fries in no time.

  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • Garlic Aioli

📋 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F.

  3. Whisk eggs in a shallow dish.
  4. Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.

🧀 Recipe variations

  • Substitute 1/2 c. of your favorite shredded cheese for the grated Parmesan.
  • Use panko bread crumbs in place of Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • Use regular bread crumbs and substitute with the seasonings of your choice
  • For a spicy kick, season with chili powder and a pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Replace the aioli with ranch dressing or marinara sauce
  • Fry zucchini fries in hot oil instead of baking them

♨️ Storing & reheating

Leftovers can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. To reheat, I would recommend either reheating in the oven at 400° (10 minutes) or in a skillet with a small amount of olive oil over medium-high heat (5-10 minutes).
