Spicy Zucchini Fries Recipes

Steps:

• Adjust 2 oven racks to the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Put the wire racks in the baking sheets and coat each generously with cooking spray.
• Combine the flour and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Combine the eggs and 3/4 teaspoon salt in another large plastic bag; combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a third large plastic bag.
• Add about a half of the zucchini sticks to the bag with the flour and use a combination of your hands and shaking the bag to coat the zucchini. Remove the zucchini and shake off any excess flour. Transfer to the egg wash and repeat until coated. (It's less messy if you use only one hand for the dry ingredients and the other for the wet.) Let any excess egg drip off before transferring to the breadcrumb mixture; repeat until fully coated (you'll still see some green and white of the zucchini peeking through the breading). Transfer to the prepared baking sheets and coat the breaded zucchini generously with cooking spray (there's no need to turn them). Repeat with the remaining zucchini.
• Bake, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom about halfway through, until golden brown and tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with a little salt and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil onto the prepared baking sheet; place zucchini slices in the oil. Drizzle 3 more tablespoons olive oil over zucchini slices; season with salt and black pepper. Toss coated zucchini slices with 1 cup bread crumbs.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Toss zucchini slices with remaining 1 cup bread crumbs. Return to oven and bake until zucchini is soft and bread crumbs are lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Stir bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together in a shallow bowl. Whisk eggs in a separate shallow bowl.
• Working in batches, dip zucchini strips into egg mixture, shake to remove any excess, and roll strips in bread crumb mixture to coat. Transfer coated zucchini strips to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake zucchini fries in the preheated oven, turning once, until golden and crisp, 20 to 24 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Lightly coat 2 rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray. In a wide, shallow dish, mix together panko, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, cayenne, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In a medium bowl, lightly beat egg whites.
• Working with one at a time, dip zucchini wedges in egg whites, then breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere. Arrange on sheets in a single layer. Bake until coating is golden brown and crisp, 20 minutes, flipping zucchini and rotating sheets halfway through. Season to taste with salt and pepper; serve immediately.

Steps:

• Make the dip
• In a small bowl, blend together the yogurt, garlic, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
• Make the zucchini fries
• Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
• Prepare your ingredients: Place flour in a large Ziploc bag. Crack eggs into a shallow dish and whisk along with 2 tablespoons water. Mix Panko breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a shallow dish.
• Add zucchini to the Ziploc bag with flour and shake gently until all pieces are covered.
• Working with three or four sticks at a time, dip the zucchini sticks in the egg mixture then place in the Panko mixture, turning to coat. Gently lay on the baking sheet. Repeat, mixing the Panko breadcrumbs often to keep spices distributed, until all pieces are coated.
• Evenly drizzle olive oil on top of fries.
• Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until all sides are golden brown.
• Serve immediately with dip.

Steps:

• Now first off I love to serve this with a creamy parmesan dipping sauce which you can make your own, but normally I don't even use a sauce. These are light and spicy as is.
• Mix all the ingredients to make a nice tempura batter. In a large pan heat up the oil. Then dip the zucchini and then fry until golden brown. Don't add too many at one time. They come out crispy and brown.
• I like to use a simple marinara as a dipping sauce -- reminds me of fries with ketchup. It is really a great simple side dish.

Steps:

• Place oil in a large, heavy non-stick skillet and begin heating over medium high heat.
• Meanwhile, slice onion and cut zucchini into 1/4" rounds.
• Once oil is nice and hot, saute onion until it is starting to carmelize (about 2 minutes).
• Add zucchini and seasonings. Turn heat down slightly (to medium), and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Zucchini should be yellow with some brown spots, slightly transparent looking and soft without being mushy. Onions should be thoroughly carmelized and yummy. :).
