Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchinis, cut into matchstick-sized strips
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

2. In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Dip each zucchini strip into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Place the coated zucchini strips on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray the fries with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
5. Bake for 18-20 minutes, turning the fries halfway through the baking time, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
