Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Zucchini:
- Wash and dry the small zucchini. Cut it into strips, resembling fries. Choosing a smaller zucchini with less moisture is ideal.
- Dry Zucchini Strips:
- Lay the zucchini strips on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture. This helps achieve a crispy texture.
- Prepare Coating Mixture:
- In a shallow dish, mix grated Parmesan Romano cheese with a sprinkle of garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
- Create Scrambled Egg Wash:
- In another bowl, scramble the egg to create an egg wash.
- Coat Zucchini Strips:
- Dip each zucchini strip into the scrambled egg wash, ensuring it is evenly coated. Allow excess egg to drip off.
- Transfer the coated zucchini strip to the cheese and spice mixture, pressing the cheese mixture onto the strip to ensure it adheres well. Repeat for all zucchini strips.
- Prepare Baking Sheet:
- Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Zucchini on Baking Sheet:
- Place the coated zucchini strips on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other to promote even baking.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes or until the zucchini fries reach your desired level of crispiness.
- Optional Broiling:
- For an extra crispy finish, turn on the broiler to low for a few minutes. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- Serve:
- Once baked to perfection, remove the zucchini fries from the oven. Serve them hot as a delicious keto-friendly snack or side dish.
