Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchinis, cut into fries
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for a gluten-free option)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the almond milk into another shallow bowl.
  4. Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
  5. Dip each zucchini fry into the flour mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
  6. Then, dip the coated zucchini fry into the almond milk.
  7. Finally, coat the zucchini fry with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  8. Place the coated zucchini fries onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  9. Lightly spray the zucchini fries with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini fries are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  11. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
  12. Serve your vegan zucchini fries with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce or vegan ranch dressing.
