Perfect as a guilt-free snack, appetizer, or side dish for any meal, this recipe shines with the help of the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater, which effortlessly prepares the zucchini and cheese for a quick, mess-free prep. Let’s dive into making this savory treat!

Ingredients

2 medium zucchinis

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp dried oregano

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

Cooking spray or olive oil (for baking)

Instructions

1.Prep the Zucchini

Wash the zucchinis thoroughly. Set up your Geedel Vegetable Chopper and secure it to the countertop with its stable suction base—no slipping or wobbling here. Feed the zucchinis into the hopper and turn the Z-shaped handle a few times to create thin, even slices or strips..

The sharp stainless steel blades ensure uniform cuts that bake to crispy perfection.

2. Grate the Parmesan

Switch to the 2-Blade Set (or keep it on) on the cheese shredder. Add the Parmesan cheese block to the hopper and turn the handle effortlessly to shred it into fluffy, fine pieces. The food pusher keeps your hands safe, and the detachable handle makes quick work of large batches.

3. Set Up the Breading Station

In three separate shallow bowls, prepare the following:

Bowl 1: Flour mixed with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Bowl 2: Beaten eggs.

Bowl 3: Panko breadcrumbs mixed with the grated Parmesan.

4. Coat the Zucchini

Dip each zucchini slice first into the flour mixture, then the egg, and finally coat with the Parmesan-panko mix. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks.

5. Bake

Preheat your oven to a high temperature suitable for roasting. Arrange the coated zucchini fries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly spray with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil for extra crispiness. Bake until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

6. Serve

Let the fries cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite dipping sauce, like marinara or ranch!

Tips and Variations

Zucchini Size: Choose medium zucchinis for the best texture—too large can be watery.

Cheese Swap: Try Pecorino Romano or Asiago (shredded with the 2-Blade Set) for a different flavor.

Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne to the panko mix for heat.

Air Fryer Option: Cook at a high temperature in an air fryer for an even crispier result.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven to retain crispiness.

Conclusion

These fries are a delightful blend of crispy texture and savory flavor, making veggies irresistible for kids and adults alike. The cheese shredder hand crank simplifies prep with its versatile blade options—slicing zucchini and shredding Parmesan with sharp premium blades for safe, precise results. The stable suction base ensures a steady grip, perfect for busy kitchens. Whether it’s a quick snack or a dinner side, this recipe brings a healthy, cheesy twist to your table.
