How to prepare.
Bacon Zucchini Fries
Ingredients:
➤2 medium zucchinis
➤8-10 slices of bacon
➤1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
➤1/2 cup breadcrumbs
➤1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
➤1/2 teaspoon onion powder
➤1/2 teaspoon paprika
➤Salt and black pepper to taste
➤Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet if you have one; this will help the bacon and zucchini cook evenly.
2. Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchinis and cut them into thin strips or "fries." You can leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrients. Pat the zucchini strips dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
3. Season the Zucchini: In a bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
4. Wrap with Bacon: Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around each zucchini strip. Secure the ends with toothpicks, if necessary, to prevent the bacon from unraveling during baking.
5. Coat with Breadcrumb Mixture: Roll each bacon-wrapped zucchini fry in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the bacon-wrapped zucchini fries on the prepared baking sheet or wire rack in a single layer, leaving space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the zucchini is tender.
8. Serve: Remove the bacon-wrapped zucchini fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Carefully remove any toothpicks before serving. Serve them hot as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
You can also pair these bacon-wrapped zucchini fries with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, ketchup, or a garlic aioli for extra flavor. Enjoy!
