Learn from my mistakes!

I LOVE zucchini fries, so when I read a recipe that offered an alternative to frying, but still have a great taste? I was all in.

The recipe was for zucchini spears, rolled in parm and bread crumbs, and baked in the oven. Now, it’s important to know that I’ve been sick for a week or more, and felt so very tired while trying to cook. I wanted to make a lot of them, because I have a large family, with as little effort as possible.

I used one bowl to put the spears in, then I poured flour over them, and then I poured egg over them. It was going great in the same bowl so far, why not dump the breadcrumbs in?

No. Absolutely not. It made an evil dough like substance and somehow my zucchini’s were naked again, with this awful dough in chunks around them. So yeah, don’t pour breadcrumbs onto things. It will bind with everything but your desired item.

A few brave souls ate the zucchini as it was, the breading was tossed out. Don’t be like me 😭 #cooking #cookingtips #tryingsomethingnew

... Read moreBaked zucchini fries are a healthier alternative to the traditional fried version, combining the goodness of vegetables with delicious flavors. To ensure a crispy coating, consider these tips: start by using fresh zucchini, cut them into uniform spears for even cooking, and use a separate bowl for the breading process. Lightly coat the zucchini with flour before dipping into whisked eggs, allowing the breadcrumbs to adhere better. For added flavor, incorporate spices or herbs into your breadcrumb mixture, such as garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning. Another helpful trick is to spray your zucchini fries with olive oil before baking to enhance crispiness. Bake at a high temperature, around 425°F to 450°F, for the best results. With these methods, you can create a delicious and healthy snack that will impress your family and friends without the frying mess!

I would dip in egg, roll in flour, dip in water quickly, mix parm with breadcrumbs anda little flour, The water helps with double breading. I also do it to my fried chicken.
