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.

♨️ 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).

I may have over looked it, but at what point do you incorporate the cheese?
Cathy Trochelman
You combine the cheese with the breadcrumbs for the crispy coating:)

Can you make these in an air fryer?
Cathy Trochelman
Yes you can! Spray them with Pam and air fry them at 400 degrees for about 8-10 min and turn half way though.
