Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and dry the zucchinis; slice them into fry-like sticks, about 3-4 inches long and 1/4-1/2 inch thick.
  3. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Coat each zucchini stick in flour, then dip in the egg wash, and finally press into the panko mixture.
  5. Arrange the coated zucchini fries on the baking sheet in a single layer, drizzle with olive oil.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before serving warm with dipping sauces.
