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.

🧀 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).
