Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium sized Zucchinis, cut into 1 inch strips. Do not peel.
  • 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 -3 cups Breadcrumbs (I use Garlic & Herb)
  • 2 tsp Red Chilli powder/paprika
  • a pinch of ground Turmeric
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp ground black Pepper
  • 0.33333333333333 cup Cornflour + water to dissolve the cornflour into a light, dippable paste
  • 2 -3 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil spray / oil to brush (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F/ 225°C. Line a large baking sheet with baking paper/foil. Position the oven baking rack to the lower-middle position.
  2. Toss the zucchini strips with all-purpose flour. Set aside.
  3. In a bowl, dissolve cornflour and water to make a slurry. In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs, red chilli powder, ground turmeric , garlic powder, italian seasoning, ground pepper and salt.
  4. Roll the floured zucchini strips into the breadcrumbs(1). Then dip in cornflour water. Then roll in breadcrumbs(2). Then dip in cornflour water. Back into the breadcrumbs(3). Lay on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat for all the strips.
  5. Lightly spray or brush with oil. This is optional, but the oil makes it taste a little better. Sprinkle with the grated parmesan.
  6. Bake at 425°F/ 225°C for 20mins. Flip all the fries in the pan, then continue baking for another 5-10 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp. Cool on a wire rack for 2-3 minutes before serving. Best eaten hot.
