April Recipe! Zucchini Fries

So, when is the right time to try out a new recipe? A leisurely weekend? A beginning of a vacation? Apparently, for me it was the night before a major exam. Hmm, yeah, my brain doesn't always make sensible decisions. I loosely based my recipe on the one I found on The Recipe Critic (link). 

First off, I cut up my zucchini into some pretty uneven sticks, oops!

Next up, I set up a little station that reminded me of breaded chicken. An egg station and a breadcrumb/parmesan station. I think I probably had a 3:2 ratio of breadcrumbs to parmesan. In the future, I would probably reduce the parmesan part of it. I also added a sprinkle of Italian seasoning and salt. It occurred to me that it may have helped to have flour, then the egg and breadcrumbs/parmesan. I was just too lazy to go through another step to be honest.

So I had a bit of trouble getting the second stage to stick and ended up sprinkling some of the leftovers on top at the end. After baking at 425 degrees for about 10-12 minutes (can't remember exactly), this is how they looked!

They definitely weren't a replacement for some good ole greasy, but crispy french fries, but these zucchini fries were pretty good in their own right. Now let's just hope that my exam grade doesn't suffer too much as a consequence of my side cooking adventure!
