Oven Baked Zucchini Fries Modified: Oct 13, 2024 by Madhuram · 37 Comments. 5 from 9 votes216shares As long as there is Parents magazine, I will not have any problem finding easy baking recipes. This is one such simple and tasty recipe. I tried it for the first time yesterday with one zuchini. Jump to:RecipeComments It was crispy on the outside and tender inside. Zucchini being a soft vegetable, when it cooks, the inside is not as firm as the potato fries. It tastes similar to the South Indian appetizer Bhaji, which has a crunchy exterior and soft/mushy inside. Recipe Baked Zucchini Fries Madhuram Oven-Baked Eggless Zucchini Fries offers a healthy, crispy alternative to traditional French fries. Sliced zucchini sticks are coated in a seasoned breadcrumb mixture and baked until golden brown, creating a crunchy texture without the need for deep frying. 5 from 9 votes Print Recipe Pin Recipe Prep Time 15 minutes minsCook Time 25 minutes minsCooling Time 5 minutes minsTotal Time 45 minutes mins Course Snacks/AppetizersCuisine Indian Servings 2 PeopleCalories 137 kcal Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark Need To Convert Measurements?Check out the Baking Measurement Chart! Ingredients▢ ½ to 1 cup Bread crumbs or cornflakes crumbs▢ ¼ teaspoon salt▢ 2 count Zucchini, cut into 3 x ½-inch sticks▢ ½ cup Yogurt (I used low-fat)▢ To taste Black Pepper or Red Chili InstructionsHeat oven to 425°F. Spray a baking sheet with oil. Mix bread crumbs, salt and black pepper/chili powder, if using.Coat zucchini sticks with yogurt. Press into crumb mixture a few at a time. Arrange on baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, until golden brown and tender. I felt that the zucchini fries were not crunchy enough, so I kept baking until 24 minutes, checking every 2-3 minutes. My Notes I used bread crumbs instead of cornflakes. I also added some pepper powder and chilly powder for the adults version. Beat the yogurt with a fork nicely and pour it in a plate so that dipping the zucchini sticks will be easy. Dip 2 to 3 sticks at a time and put them in the bread crumbs mixture and shake the plate, so that the crumbs get evenly coated throughout the zucchini. Place them in a greased baking sheet. I baked it for around 23-25 minutes to get the desired crunch, even though the recipe mentions only 15 minutes. One zucchini is enough for 2 adults. Update: One of my friend mentioned that the zucchinis burnt in the oven around 20 minutes. As I have mentioned in the notes section the baking time in the original recipe is only 15 minutes. But mine was not crunchy enough, so I kept increasing the time 2-3 minutes and was checking constantly and around 24 minutes mine was nice and crunchy. I guess I coated the zucchinis with too much yogurt and/or bread crumbs. So I would advice to bake for 15 minutes first and then bake for some more time if necessary.

Tracie says November 23, 2013 at 1:48 pm Could I substitute with almond meal or almond flour. My daughter is allergic to eggs and I am super sensitive to starchy foods. Reply
Madhuram says November 23, 2013 at 7:26 pm You could try it. Is bran flakes a no-no too for you? Reply
