Making zucchini fries is quick and easy. This zucchini fries recipe for Weight Watchers uses any kind of squash and your favorite bread crumbs to create a tasty and healthy treat the whole family will love.
Ingredients
- 4 Sprays Olive Oil Cooking Spray
- 3/4 Cup Panko Dried Plain Breadcrumbs
- 1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 2 Medium Fresh Zucchini
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons All Purpose Flour
- 3/4 Teaspoon Salt (or to taste)
- 2 Large Egg Whites, Whipped Until Frothy
Instructions
- First we need to get that oven preheating to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Spray your baking sheet with cooking oil spray to keep the fries from sticking and then set it aside.
- Next up we need to prep our flour mixture and breadcrumbs. Mix together the flour, Italian seasoning, and salt in one bowl and put the breadcrumbs in another bowl.
- Now we need to cut up our zucchini! We’ll cut them into pieces a little smaller than a pickle spear. Cut your squash in half and then cut each half into two pieces. Each one of those pieces can be cut into four fries, lengthwise.
- To coat the zucchini fries we need to dredge them in the flour mixture first and then dip them into the egg whites before finally coating them in the breadcrumbs.
- Now they are ready for the oven! Put them on your prepped baking sheet and roast them for about 12 minutes.
- Turn them once. Don’t overhandle them while baking or the coating may be knocked off!
Notes
Air Fryer Cooking Instructions:
You can also make these in the air fryer by coating the air fryer basket in cooking oil spray, arranging the fries in an even layer on the bottom, and baking at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 6-8 minutes. Flip them once if you’d like about halfway through! Make them in small batches so that you don’t have more than a single layer in the basket at a time!
