Pre-heat your oven to 200C Fan/425F/Gas Mark 7, and line a baking tray with baking paper. I don't recommend using foil as the courgette fries can stick to it
Cut the ends off the courgette and chop them into sticks/wedges
Place the courgette into a bowl and add the cornflour, stir together to fully coat the courgette
In another bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, mixed herbs, Italian grated hard cheese, salt and pepper. In a third bowl, beat the egg
Using one hand, dip a courgette stick in the egg and fully coat it. Then place it into the bowl of breadcrumbs
Use your other hand to toss the courgette stick in the breadcrumbs, then place it on the baking tray. Continue until all of the courgette is coated in breadcrumbs
Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Serve immediately with your favourite sauces or condiments

You can add other herbs or flavouring to the breadcrumbs mix, for example garlic powder, smoke paprika, chilli powder... or anything you prefer.
You can make this recipe in the oven or in the air fryer.
I used golden breadcrumbs, you could also use regular breadcrumbs, homemade breadcrumbs or panko breadcrumbs.
Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around £12 ($16.50) .
For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.
