Description

Spiralized and breaded zucchini is baked up into a crispy side dish of curly fries with a little kick.

Ingredients

cooking spray
3 medium zucchini, spiralized and cut into 6-inch pieces
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2 Combine spiralized zucchini and cornstarch in a bowl and toss to combine. Place beaten eggs in a shallow dish. Stir panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, seasoning salt, cayenne, and garlic powder together in a second shallow dish.
3 Working in batches, lightly dredge zucchini in the eggs, shaking off the excess before dredging in the bread crumb mixture. Spread zucchini out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Spray the top of the zucchini with more nonstick cooking spray.
4 Bake until crispy and golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve hot and fresh.
