1 lb. zucchini (about 2 small)
1 ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup oat milk or other non-dairy milk

Place the zucchini fries onto a large parchment-lined baking tray and bake at 400°F for about 35 minutes.

Notes

Tips for the best Baked Zucchini Fries

Choose the right zucchini. Small to medium sized zucchini are best because they are firmer than larger ones, which tend to get mushy when cooked.
Don't cut the zucchini too small. Cut them on the thicker side to avoid overcooking or soggy zucchini fries.
Use Panko breadcrumbs. These crisp up better than other breadcrumbs, so use them to get the ultimate crunch.
Have a wet and dry hand for breading. Use one hand for dipping the zucchini fries in the batter and one for the breadcrumbs to avoid fingers layered with breading.
