Zucchini Fries

Ingredients

  • 2 zucchini cut into fry wedges
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 2 tbsp garlic salt
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cut the zucchini into fry-shaped wedges.
  • Beat the egg with the milk. Dip the zucchini wedges in the egg mixture, coating them well.
  • Combine the cornmeal, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Dip each egg-coated wedge into the dry mixture, pressing to adhere the coating.

  • Bake until the zucchini fries are golden brown. Sprinkle with parmesan if desired and serve warm.

Notes

If you don’t have cornmeal, you can use crushed corn flakes, breadcrumbs, crushed saltines, or panko. Cornmeal gives a naturally crunchy texture and is gluten-free, but feel free to adapt the coating to suit your preferences.
