Because the parmesan zucchini fries are anything but boring. They are perfectly tender in the middle and crusted with an amazing combination of grated parmesan cheese, garlic, and paprika!

We love cooking and experimenting with zucchini around here. We have shared baked zucchini pasta, Parmesan Zucchini RoundsZucchini FrittersCheesy Cornbread Zucchini MuffinsWhole Wheat Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread, Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins, and Instant Pot Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread. You may also like Instant Pot Butternut Squash.

The parmesan zucchini rounds used to be my favorite zucchini recipe, but now parmesan zucchini fries have taken the number one spot! I think it’s because of the way the cheese crisps around the edges of the zucchini fries that really does it.

Parmesan Zucchini Fries with both zucchini and squash

We made our parmesan zucchini fries with both zucchini and summer squash. I bought the big bag from Costco that had both, so I used both. You can use only zucchini in this recipe if you prefer. Everything else in this recipe still stays the same.

This recipe is super simple. Just cut your zucchini into wedges, dip it into an egg, and then dip it into a parmesan mixture. It bakes in the oven for 25 minutes or so and comes out crispy, tender, and golden brown.

This baked parmesan zucchini fries recipe is made without breadcrumbs. My husband is currently doing Keto, so I was trying to make a keto-friendly parmesan zucchini fry recipe. And it turned out magnificently.

  1. Hi – I wanted to print this recipe because it is so awesome, but it took five pages of print mostly filled with photos which I don’t need. Please make your printed recipes printer friendly! I like your site!

    1. Hi Mary. I am so sorry that happened! That must have been so frustrating!

      I just recently started experimenting with adding the step by step photos in the recipe card. Now I know that’s not a good idea. Thank you for the feedback.
